The King and the Witches
Did a hundred or more witches meet at the Auld Kirk by the harbour of North Berwick on All Hallow's E'en 1590? Many women and men from East Lothian and Edinburgh confessed to this and were tortured, Did a hundred or more witches meet at the Auld Kirk by the harbour of North Berwick on All Hallow's E'en 1590? Many women and men from East Lothian and Edinburgh confessed to this and were tortured, strangled and burnt. King James VI's fears that his enemies were using these witches to destroy him fuelled a witch hunting fever that was to spread throughout Scotland. This lively original play explores whether we can ever know the "whole truth" about our own history - or anything.
