WITCH - Preserving Tradition and Folklore through Theatre.  The special guest on this episode of The Folklore Podcast is Historian and Author Tracey Norman. Tracey is discussing her acclaimed play WITCH, which takes as its premise actual events from witch trial documents and depositions from the early modern period and maps them onto three fictitious characters. This serves to give a voice to those people from our past who were denied one at the time, telling an important story. Tracey talks about her research, the play and the other projects which are coming out of this important work.

I had the privilege of seeing "Witch" in Boscastle last year.

When you see the play "live" it really hits home as to the real nature of a witch trial and the very serious possibility of death if the accused should be found gulity.

If you havn't seen "Witch" and you get the chance please do go along and see it.

Hello Paul.

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad that you have had the opportunity to enjoy a live performance of WITCH. It is a truly powerful piece of theatre and was designed specifically to stimulate discussion and make you think about these important issues. It is good to know that it is doing its job in that way.

If you are not able to watch the play because of your location, remember that it can obtained as an audio production with the original cast on either CD or via download at www.circleofspears.com/store
