WITCH by Jen Silverman at POWERHOUSE THEATRE IN WAVENY PARK

Come enjoy this dark dramatic comedy!

A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a "witch" and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her - and then returns again - unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive re-telling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.

REVIEWS

"A dark tale of devilish temptation and sharp wit, WITCH is a treasure and one of the best shows I’ve seen all year." - AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO (Julia W. Rath)

"The play immediately engages in the very first three scenes." - THE FOURTH WALSH

"Although this play features a castle, an accused witch, and the devil, Silverman has managed a miracle: she has written a play that neatly, poignantly and humorously captures the quandary at the hearts of many in our contemporary world: at what point do you lose all hope?" - CHICAGO REVIEWS
