Witch Hunt is a thrilling new musical inspired by the Scottish witch trials.

When a ruthless King declares war on witches, fear spreads and three women are accused, hunted, and forced to run for their lives.

Pursued by a bishop hiding a dangerous secret, they must choose between silence and survival. With nowhere left to turn, the women embrace their forbidden power and uncover the truth behind the lies that threaten to destroy them.

Driven by a high-energy electronic dance music score, Witch Hunt is a gripping story of persecution, rebellion, and unity, packed with soaring vocals, explosive choreography, and defiant female power.

Audience Feedback:
‘An excellent show, Lady Gaga meets Six the Musical’
‘A fabulous tale of witchcraft and folklore with some banging tunes’
‘A fascinating story with amazing songs that will make you want to get on your feet’


Written by Anton Davis, Irene Harris & Alyson Orr alysonorr.com
