‘The Bideford Witches’

Temperance Lloyd, Susannah Edwards and Mary Trembles of Bideford were the last three women to be executed for witchcraft in Great Britain. High Wall Theatre present a striking retelling of their incredible true story. We imagine how in 1682, when witch trials were no longer a common occurrence in this country, three women came to be seen as a disturbing threat to the community they had once been part of. Follow Susannah and Mary, taken from famine-struck Bideford to Exeter gaol, then tried and hanged at Heavitree in a sequence of events with poignant and unsettling resonances in our own society today. High Wall Theatre bring their story to life through our unique style of movement and ensemble work.

The Bideford Witches runs at the Barnfield Theatre, Exeter (Clifford Room), from 28th- 30th July 2016. Performances are at 7.30pm with a matinee at 2.30pm on Saturday 30th.
