We are in a remote village in 1590. And also in a folk tale. Gelly needs a love spell. Euphemia needs her child. Agnes needs only freedom from men. But a wind is blowing. King James’s ship is hit by a storm, and he blames witchcraft. Soon witches are everywhere: in dreams and thoughts and prison cells and court rooms. Gelly, Euphemia and Agnes find themselves caught in a whirlwind of fantasy and fear, and their only hope is to take control of the story.

A powerful new exploration of the stories we inherit and the ones we tell, combining Tmesis’ trademark blend of striking physicality, original songs, live music and evocative text by acclaimed writer Lizzie Nunnery.

A work in progress was presented at Physical Fest in Liverpool in July 2026, we will be premiering the show in 2027 and touring in 27/27
