The experience

A charming devil arrives in a quiet village to trade for the residents' darkest wishes. Elizabeth, already branded a witch and cast out by the town, turns out to be his hardest target. The production runs Wednesday through Saturday evenings with a Sunday matinee.

A few highlights

  • Jen Silverman's WITCH sets a charming devil loose in a village to bargain for souls; Elizabeth, already branded a witch, proves the hard case.[1]
  • The run opens Wednesday and closes with a Sunday matinee, so there are evening and afternoon choices.[1]

Our take

A darkly funny, sharply staged play for adults, with evening and Sunday matinee choices across one weekend.
