In Edmonton, the cattle are dying. The corn will not grow. A local man stabs his wife. A local woman runs mad. A black dog is heard to speak with the voice of the devil. Is the village cursed? And could a strange old woman who lives alone be to blame?<\/p>\n

400 years ago, Elizabeth Sawyer was tried and hanged for witchcraft. Now, Creation Theatre invites you to be her judge. Was Elizabeth Sawyer a witch who sold her soul to the devil or simply a lonely, mistreated woman? Was Satan himself at work in Edmonton or were its villagers responsible for their own cruelties and corruption?<\/p>\n

Performing live online, digital theatre specialists Creation will stage the \u2018crimes\u2019 and punishment of Edmonton\u2019s witch based on a play written in 1621 by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford. Newly interwoven with records of other historical witch trials,\u00a0The Witch of\u00a0Edmonton<\/em>\u00a0reveals the dangers of being an outsider in a place where to be\u00a0different is to be condemned.<\/p>\n
