Based on the true story of a tarot-reading lesbian forced from her home by Christian neighbors likely in a cult, Gretchen Wylder’s darkly comedic one-woman show (Spookies Award for “Best Solo Show” at Edinburgh Fringe ‘25) explores witches as healers, the patriarchal systems that burned them, and the modern dangers of organised religion. Living a double life – reading tarot in Salem while living in a creepy cottage town run by zealots – her personal horror show becomes a fierce reclamation of spirituality. Wylder reinterprets Biblical women’s stories and exposes the ongoing persecution of the divine feminine, all while trying not to get burned at the stake. Directed by Ryan Cunningham.
