THE LAST WITCH
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland production,
directed by Matthew Jeffery
Play by Rona Munro.
Amber played Niall.
Janet Horne can fly, cure or curse a beast, and read a person’s entire lifestory in the lines on their hand… Or so she claims.
When Dornoch’s new sheriff comes knocking at her door she will have to make a difficult decision. Yield to forces that would suppress the power women have outside of church and state, or be destroyed.
What happens to people who live in a world where someone’s worth is determined by their ability to wield power over others?
One of Scotland’s leading playwrights, Rona Munro explores themes of systemic violence, gender politics, and social power in her play based on the historical burning of Britain’s “last witch” in 1727.
