In 1691 Puritan New
England, fear and superstition were rampant. Singing, dancing and amusement of
any kind was forbidden. The devil was everywhere. Five girls coming of age in
Salem Village, desperate for release of their thoughts and feelings, find an
ally in Tituba, a slave who longs for freedom. Deep in the woods the girls make
a pact and build a sisterhood. Then alliances are formed, promises made and
broken, power taken.
Afflicted:
Daughters of Salem tells the story of the Salem girls—Abigail Williams, the leader, Ann Putnam, Mercy Lewis, Mary Warren and Betty Parris, and the events that led up to the infamous Salem witch trials. This origin story examines how these teenage girls became accusers and caused 20 people to be put to death for witching.
