Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, is a devised musical drawing on Early Modern witch trial testimonies and Sylvia Federici’s ‘Caliban and the Witch’. ​The performance piece blends history, movement, storytelling and comedy to examine how European witch hunts have shaped contemporary western society.

We opened this piece with two sell-out shows at the Cockpit Theatre, as part of Voila Festival, with costumes by Nick Ashley (Designer of Dunhill; Private White VC), choreography by Gaby Agis (ENO) and original music by Hugo Hamlet and Voo Le Voo.
