Step into the woods of Provincetown to spy the Women of the Mayflower’s taboo retelling of Thomas Middleton’s censored 1616 play: THE WITCH.
Driven by lust, the men of Ravenna seek out Hecate, the Witch in the Woods, for charms and enchantments to get what they want: the women of Ravenna. But when the Duchess visits the Witches for a more sinister spell, she'll get much more than she reckoned -- or at least that's how the Pilgrim Women tell the story.
This premiere production by Campfire Quorum imagines Thomas Middleton's 1616 play, THE WITCH, performed in 1620 by the Women of the Mayflower on their first day ashore in Provincetown. Under the guise of doing laundry, they sneak away from the men and into the Woods to break Jacobean taboos -- donning pants, taking to the stage, casting spells, and reveling in the newfound power of their escapist "new world."
​But will the theatrical spell they are weaving leave them unchanged?
Tickets are $30, available online or at the door.
