Season of the witch
✹ Writer ✹
BURNT
Taking inspiration from feminism, witchcraft and moral panics, in 2024 I’ll be debuting Burnt:
’In a dingy pub on bonfire night in Lewes, history is being made. In a new world where feminism has gone too far, three local men sit around a radio listening in on the court case of the century. Somewhere in America, a woman is standing on trial for witchcraft, punishable by death. And these men couldn’t be happier about it.
History suddenly hangs in the balance when the unwelcomed, loud voice of the landlady’s niece bursts through the pub’s doors. In a world of control and suspicion, who really has the power?’
