Witch Hunt
Witch Hunt weaves a cautionary fairy tale for our time. It celebrates the wisdom of the witch, unpacks the notion of predator and conjures a world of coven-ready weird sisters.
About Witch Hunt
By Abigail Dooley and Emma Edwards
Witch Hunt asks who really holds the power in a world where the witches have become the hunters and the predators are now the prey?
Following their sell-out, award-winning show Enter The Dragons, A&E Comedy (Abigail Dooley and Emma Edwards, “a brilliant comedy coupling” Total Theatre)return with a spell-binding, surreal and darkly hilarious tale, directed by Cal McCrystal.
Witch Hunt weaves a cautionary fairy tale for our time. It celebrates the wisdom of the witch, unpacks the notion of predator and conjures a world of coven-ready weird sisters.
A ritualistic voodoo brouhaha designed to enchant and hex the pricks and predators; imagine Vic and Bob doing The Crucible.
Using buffoon, puppetry and magic and armed with a ‘wiccan’ sense of humour, A&E Comedy ask “Can we use witchcraft to take down the Patriarchy?” Yes we can!
Witch Hunt is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
