Runs Oct 04Nov 16, 2024
Becky Nurse, an outspoken, quick-witted tour guide at the Salem Museum of Witchcraft, strains to navigate life in post-Obama America. As a descendant of Rebecca Nurse, who was executed for witchcraft in 1692, she questions whether things have truly changed for women. As her struggles grow, Becky turns to a local witch for help. One spell leads to another, spiraling her life into chaos. This darkly comic play delves into a woman grappling with her family’s past and finding her voice in the “lock her up” era.
