Description
85% of executed witches were women! Why? The brutal truth of the witch hunts in Scotland, told with humour and empathy. Be prepared to laugh and cry as you gain a shocking insight into the untold stories of ordinary women (and some men) caught up in a whirlwind of politics and the religious repression of old magic. Performed in The Lost Close, where the ominous underground ambience adds real atmosphere to a truly powerful storytelling experience.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.
