Vinegar Tom
Nov. 22 - Dec. 7 | Mandell Weiss Forum
Written by Caryl Churchill | Directed by Allie Moss | Music by Kyle Adam Blair
About the Show
Vinegar Tom is famously described by Caryl Churchill as “a play about witches with no witches in it.” Instead of magic this play explores misogyny and how society punishes women who dare to resist social control. Peppered with modern punk songs, this story of 17th century women accused of witchcraft for rejecting social norms, hits remarkably close to home.
