Synopsis

A Jacobean revenge tragedy in which an elderly woman, shunned and mocked by her neighbors, strikes a bargain with the devil to exact revenge on the community that wronged her. The play weaves together a dark tale of witchcraft and betrayal with a satirical subplot involving a naive countryman who befriends the devil's dog without realizing its true nature.
