JFCreative present a theatrical performed-reading by four actors.

This story follows the life of Agnes, a wise woman living in a village in rural England.

This show is dedicated to the 200.000 women across Europe and the British Isles, murdered in the witch hunts of the 16th/17th centuries – and it’s relevance today
