Bakewell Youth Theatre presents 'Bakewell Witches' written by David Coggins

That Witches, when detected and convicted ought to be cut off and exterminated, we have God’s warrant for.

In the 30 years of its existence Bakewell Youth Theatre has gained a reputation for theatre events that are vibrant, exciting and innovative, and which regularly turn preconceptions of amateur theatre upside down with an energetic zeal. This latest production sees the company of eager beavers tackling a true story that is nearly 500 years old and which premiered in Bakewell during BAF 2001. It tells the tale of two sisters accused of witchcraft in a time of superstition, religious tension and paranoia, when laws were few and far between and casual slander could result in death. The quiet corners and secluded alleyways of the town are the atmospheric locations for a promenade play in which the audience is immersed in the mysteries of a past too recent for comfort.

Meet at Bakewell Church, Wednesday 12, Thursday 13, Friday 14, Saturday 15 August, 7pm, £7/£5. T ickets available from the Bakewell Bookshop (T: 01629 812818), the BAF hotline and BAF events. This is a promenade performance which includes outdoor locations. Performances last about an hour and suitable outdoor clothing should be worn
