The story

Ash takes a job cataloguing historical witchcraft cases and begins to look differently at Dom, the boyfriend whose apparent perfection had seemed reassuring. As the work seeps into her private life, suspicion grows around what she knows, what she fears and whether the relationship is as secure as it appears.

In the room

Sophie Swithinbank’s ninety-minute play is a contemporary thriller with no interval, using archival witchcraft material to unsettle an intimate relationship.

Good fit if you like

psychological thrillers, witchcraft history, suspicious relationships and slow-building unease.
