Cohere Arts presents Witchfinder - an immersive music theatre piece inspired by the infamous witch finding activities of Matthew Hopkins (self-professed ‘Witchfinder General’) during the 1600’s.

Mingle with the inhabitants of Walpole as they get ready for their annual village fair, and join in their excitement as they welcome an esteemed guest; a local witchfinder. Festivities soon take a dark turn as Rebecca, a local school teacher, and other villagers are accused of witchcraft.

The show combines elements of immersive theatre, music and song in a narrative that explores themes of prejudice, difference and division within communities.

Book, music and lyrics by Amy Mallett.

This production is kindly supported by Arts Council England, and Friends of Walpole Old Chapel.
