What a wonderful window into the worlds of witchery and womanhood.... full review

Lisa K Wyatt is expressive, surprising and endlessly watchable as spinster-turned-witch Laura Willowes, whose put-upon, worried-looking vulnerability (peppered with slyly witty observations about her annoying family) gives way to an almost carnal desire for solitude (and the dark embrace of Satan). The script, adapted by Sal Niccolazo and director Kate Motzenbacker, is full of rich descriptive language, dry comedy and subtle social commentary. The direction by Motzenbacker is elegant, often playful, letting Wyatt's performance shine. Within the miniature set, wreathed by a circle of flowers, Wyatt prepares tea, eats people-shaped scones, and listens to the voices of her pitch-perfectly awful family which pipe in as if from a vintage radi... full review

I went into this expecting BLOOD AND SATAN,*** and instead got a wickedly charming, very funny examination of class manners and the rigidity of the space A Certian Type Of Woman was allowed to exist within during the time period this work is set in. This performance made me hit up the internet(s) to find the book it's based on when I got home. I hope the book is as good as this adaptation. If it's not? Shame on the book! ***Okay, maybe actually hoping for it because clearly something is wrong with me. And also I like ! BLOOD ! along with ! SATAN !... full review
