The Witchfinder

2022 · 1 season

A dry, cringe-inducing comedy of petty vanities and quiet desperation, where historical squalor becomes a backdrop for awkward, slow-burning humiliation.

Genres
Comedy
Overview
A failing witchfinder transports a suspected witch across 1640s East Anglia to a trial that could change his fortunes forever.
How it feels
Absurd, satirical, cynical and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
