Description
The first Salem witch to confess and household slave to the Parris family, Tituba vividly described supernatural apparitions and denounced community members, resulting in many being arrested and ultimately executed. Charged with consorting with the Devil, but not indicted, Tituba disappeared from history. Reclaiming her place now, she is audacious and adamant as she demystifies how others have cast her and tells her story. Winsome Pinnock’s insightful solo play creates a new, stranger and perhaps truer history, which invites Tituba’s audience to confront the horrors of the past with wit, humour and compassion.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
