About the show

In the village of Edmonton, Elizabeth Sawyer is derided by her neighbours. A poor and lonely old woman, she is ostracised, harassed and accused of being a witch. Dekker, Ford and Rowley's 1621 play was directed by our Artistic Director Gregory Doran, with Eileen Atkins playing the role of Elizabeth Sawyer. It played in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon in autumn 2014.
