The Witch of Edmonton

The Witch of Edmonton Englisches Seminar Billets

Credits: The Gay Beggars

Début: Différentes heures
Englisches Seminar, Basel (CH)

England, 1971. A black dog is barking on the moors.

Strange happenings are afoot in the village of Edmonton. The local troupe of Morris dancers have fallen out ahead of their annual performance. Two villagers are engaged to be married, but one of them harbours a scandalous secret. And, driven by the superstitions of her whispering neighbours, Elizabeth Sawyer is accused of witchcraft.

It’s getting cold outside. A waxing moon creeps into the sky. Elizabeth Sawyer is trying to stay warm in her hovel on the outskirts of the village. And when she turns on the television, an unexpected visitor arrives.

Written in 1621 by John Ford, Thomas Dekker and William Rowley, The Witch of Edmonton is an early modern folk horror to rival The Wicker Man and Midsommar. Based on the real-life witch trial of Elizabeth Sawyer, this remarkable play challenges the hardened beliefs of its day, and in doing so reveals the dark underside of England’s green and pleasant land. 

Bar & box office open an hour before showtime, doors to the theatre open half an hour before – you can freely choose your seats. The performance will be in English, and have an approx. runtime of 2.5 hours including intermission.
