The Witches of Pendle Hill

What happens when a child’s voice is believed above all else?

Set during the infamous Pendle witch trials of 1612, The Witches of Pendle Hill follows Jennet Device, the young girl whose testimony helped condemn her own family. As whispers spread through the hills and suspicion grips the courtroom, neighbours turn on one another, silence becomes dangerous, and every word carries deadly consequences. In a world ruled by fear, once a name is spoken aloud, there is no taking it back.

A dark, gripping, and atmospheric new ensemble production performed by young actors from the National Performing Academy’s Young Drama Cambridge programme.

This production is suitable for ages 8 and over.
