This was an example of the groups return too strong drama that both moved you and gave real food for thought. A mainly female cast delivered a truly epic and memorable evenings entertainment. Some aspects reminded you strongly of “The Crucible” though this play predates it by some 20 years. The theme of the damage baseless gossip can cause also has resonance in the modern age with the growth of cyber bullying.
The addition of some modern song sung in a cappella and in a 1930’s almost choral, style added greatly to the plays almost coven like feel.
