About this show
Back after a sell-out run in 2025! No pointy hats. No broomsticks. Just the brutal truth of the witch hunts in Scotland, performed with humour and empathy. 85% of those executed for witchcraft were women. Why? Be prepared to laugh and cry as you gain a shocking insight into the untold stories of ordinary women caught up in a whirlwind of politics, religion and magic. 'Brilliant and illuminating' * (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). 'It's funny. It's fierce' (Instagram.com @TheFringeMinge). Audience reviews: 'Unflinching', 'Mesmerising', 'Harrowing but not gratuitous', 'Powerful storytelling', 'Mind-blowing' 'Engrossing', 'Captivating'.
