The Witch of Konotop
In an eighteenth-century Ukrainian village, foolish local authority and suspicion of witchcraft set punishment, deception and magical chaos in motion.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The satire follows a simple-minded local official whose world is overtaken by accusations of witchcraft, manipulation and supernatural intrigue. As authority, superstition and manipulation collide, attempts to control other people repeatedly make matters worse. The story uses village folklore and comic disorder to expose greed, foolishness and the abuse of power rather than treating witchcraft as straightforward horror.
A folkloric satire with magical mischief, social criticism and broad comic misunderstandings, framed by conflicts over power, honesty and who gets blamed when a community goes wrong.
folklore, political satire, magical chaos and comedies about incompetent people wielding authority.
