Vinegar Tom by Caryl Churchill

“A play on witches with no witches in it.” - Caryl Churchill

In a 17th century village, a group of women struggle to survive on their own terms in a society where one label can mean poverty, imprisonment, and death. VINEGAR TOM is a raw drama that directly addresses the fight for control over the inherent power of women. An exciting early play by an acclaimed Obie Award winning author was created in association with a British feminist theatre who requested a play about witches. Although Vinegar Tom is set in the 16th or 17th century in rural England, it has a contemporary feel. It tells the story of two farm women who are named as witches by a man whom they have spurned sexually.

Written with and for the Monstrous Regiment Theatre Group, Vinegar Tom goes beyond Miller's The Crucible by showing how the persecution of witchcraft was a suppression of ancient wisdom and traditional medicine. Mature Themes. MA
