Description
In 1727, Dornoch, Scotland was gripped by suspicion and fear. A woman's alleged ability to control the land and sea sparked accusations of witchcraft, leading to a devastating outcome for her daughter. Janet Horne, the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland, is the subject of this powerful play. Based on historical records, Rona Munro's work explores the psychological rifts that can divide close communities and drive families apart. The Last Witch opens with Janet's apparent powers stirring suspicion, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. A gripping drama that sheds light on a dark chapter in Scotland's history.
