Our 2024 Script in Hand season continues in October with WITCH
written by Jen Silverman
series curated by Mark Shanahan
A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a “witch” and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. An inventive retelling of a classic Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.
Recommended for ages 14 and up
Written by Jen Silverman, playwright of The Roommate, currently on Broadway starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow
Inspired by The Witch of Edmonton by Rowley, Dekker & Ford

ABOUT SCRIPT IN HAND PLAYREADINGS
Every Script in Hand playreading is a brand new experience.
At a Script in Hand playreading, there’s nothing between you and the actors on stage. These readings bring actors who’ve just met — or who’ve known each other for years — together for one day to rehearse and perform a play on a bare stage, with simple lighting — and you. The audience is in charge of conjuring the set, costumes, and atmosphere — or nothing at all. Actors, audience, and the director come together to create a special, one-night-only experience.
