Product Description Good Friday 1612. High on a hill in the wild and lawless area of Pendle, a secret meeting is held at Malkin Tower. By the end of the year, most of those present have been sentenced to death at Lancaster Castle hanged for the crime of witchcraft.This powerful play attempts to unravel the mysteries behind one of Englands most famous trials, that of the notorious Pendle Witches. Did Alice Nutter and the others really take part in a witches Sabbat? Or were these Pendle folk innocent victims at a time of persecution, paranoia and superstition? Sabbat imagines the events leading up to the trial and execution of The Lancashire Witches and asks: who held the real power behind the tightly closed doors of Pendle? How many lives were destroyed by laws born out of fear? Review A truly remarkable and moving play, Sabbat brings to life the history of the Lancashire witch trials. With an outstanding script, compelling acting, and wonderful direction by Amy Leach, this is definitely a mustsee. A Younger TheatreAmy Leach's economical, intheround production almost feels like a chamber version of Miller's great play. [The Crucible] The GuardianProfoundly engaging an ageless human story Theatre stripped bare at its very best, and proof that female characters of any era can be commanding, complex and well written.
