Black Cats, Broomsticks and Pentagrams? It sounds like you have a witch problem!
But have no fear, the nation’s hottest game show ‘The Witching Hour’ is here to take justice to a whole new level!
Survival hinges on one's ability to entertain, spin the best narrative, and sway the crowd's fickle loyalty.
As accusations fly, anyone can find themselves in the spotlight, cast as the next villain in a society obsessed with spectacle. The audience cheers, and the cauldron starts to bubble over and moral integrity is sacrificed at the altar of entertainment. (Pitchforks and torches, not included.)
Through biting satire and absurd humour, this explores themes of justice, celebrity culture, and the fragility of reputation in a world where being liked can mean the difference between life and death.
Will the accused manage to turn their fate around with a well-timed joke or a heart-wrenching tale? Or will they become the next victim of this insatiable hunger for drama?
This show was developed with funding from ACE and Plymouth City Council.
Running time: 105min (90min with 15min interval)
