Hags: A Magical Extravaganza
Scratchworks TheatreThis event has now finishedBideford, 1682 - the final witch trial in Britain took place. Three women were accused of witchcraft, tried & hanged. Now fast forward to the present day and name one female magician… pretty tricky. Tonight, three fearless females investigate what really happened in North Devon 340 years ago…
Packed full of magic tricks, physical comedy and live music, Hags explores the witch-hunt mania that sent hundreds of innocent women to the gallows. With mind-blowing illusions, stupendous stunts and the occasional disappearing rabbit, Hags sets the record straight for thousands of falsely accused women with all the joy, silliness and spectacle these three can muster.
