Expanded Arts continues to produce unique works with this 1621 Jacobean Tragedy. THE WITCH OF EDMONTON dramatizes the story of Elizabeth Sawyer, a woman persecuted by the community because she is powerless and at the bottom of the social system.

Lust, bigamy, revenge, madness, suicide and murder are all unleashed as the Devil hunts his prey through the town of Edmonton.
