Witchfinder (Short Trailer)

Winner : Best Book & Lyrics, GMDF Festival (2009).
In 1612 Lancashire, James and Catherine both from different classes, backgrounds and worlds find themselves in a melting pot of politics and suspicion. In newly protestant London, the King, his court and his henchman (the Witchfinder), each with a different vested interest, take up against the innocent Catholic residents of Pendle who they suspect are witches. A powerful story with dominant characters and soaring themes, the musical traces the heart-rending events and their consequences, painting a picture that encompasses life and of loss, but equally tells of love and of hope.
Principals : 5m, 3f adult, 1f junior Support : 8m, 2f, 1m/f (plus Chorus).
