Vinegar Tom
by Caryl Churchill
Synopsis
This exciting early play by an acclaimed Obie Award winning author was created in association with a British feminist theatre who requested a play about witches.
Although vinegar Tom is set in the 16th or 17th century in rural England, it has a contemporary feel and may be staged very simply.
It tells the story of two farm women who are named as witches by a man whom they have spurned sexually.
The connection between fear of female sexuality and witch hysteria is shown to be at the root of many of society's problems.
