The Hammer and Helena

ArtsGroupie • Professional company

45 minutes•Space 2
The true story of the most evil book ever written and its horrifying legacy. Innsbruck, 1485. A witch trial sees Helena become the obsession of a religious zealot. The consequences would doom women for centuries. Now Helena confronts her accuser one final time with her soul on the line and the kindling still lit. ArtsGroupie blends its acclaimed portrayal of historical events with contemporary drama and a frightening narrative worthy of their annual sell-out performances of Ghost Stories by Candlelight, featured in the New York Times.
