About the show

A 17-year-old girl has an affair with a 35-year-old married man. Her master. A father. A leader in his community. And she’s the villain…?
Set on the brink of the Salem witch trials, Abigail Williams is a powerful one-woman show that asks us to consider that perhaps even the villainous have their reasons.

Director’s note:
Searching for Abigail’s story was like a thrilling treasure hunt, digging for little gems smothered by the weight of her reputation. Through research and the use of a period set in the rehearsal room, we explored Abigail’s world and revived her memories before stripping the space back to the liminal to center her story, and her story alone.
