What I liked

I’m so happy I saw this!

What I didn't like

I wasn’t sure what I was going into, and I’m glad!

My overall impression

I was walking out of this show saying “Y’know, I’ve seen a lot of really good modern theatre with fun scripts, good material, and poignant stuff.” But WITCHES has a GORGEOUS, lush, poetic script with beautiful imagery delivered with pitch-perfect poise, grace, and style by Lisa Wyatt – it was a reminder of what great classical theatre done right felt like. A simple yet evocative set, great direction by Kate Motzenbacker, and fun use of props and audio (allowing nuanced reactions from the sole actress in the show), WHY WE BECOME WITCHES was a surprise of truly great theatre this evening. I cannot recommend it enough!
