About the show
Hexed is a new play by TBA Theatre, performed at theSpace @ Venue 45 on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set in early America, Goodman Briar has been accused of a crime he did not commit — practicing witchcraft on the persons of Goodman and Goodwife Shallow — and today is the day he is to be hanged until dead. There is but one way to save his life: betray his fundamental beliefs and commit a mortal sin. His faithful wife must convince him to do so. This new-writing drama runs for 60 minutes, costs £7, and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A taut new play that uses the language and rituals of early American witch trials to explore conscience, faith and what a person will — or won't — sacrifice to survive. The premise is simple; the stakes are absolute.
