THE WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF WITCHES IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER

By Gareth Jandrell

A spellbinding new play inspired by the true story of Britain’s bloodiest witch-hunt.

It’s 1615, and magistrates Potts and Nowell are on a mission to arm their countrymen against a plague of devilish outsiders. Until now their chief weapon has been Jennet Device, youngest of the Pendle Witches, the girl whose testimony condemned her entire family to the noose. But now Jennet has grown up, her eyes are starting to open, and, tonight, heads will roll.

Dawn State combine searing dialogue, haunting music and bold theatricality to explore the heart-breaking story of Britain’s most notorious witch-craft trial, in a new play by Gareth Jandrell.

“A brilliant return from a fantastic, upcoming company” ★★★★★ British Theatre Guide
