How the Witches Came: A play about finding your coven

by Kate Brennan

It's hard to be a woman in the 1600s; It's hard to be a woman in the 1950s.
​
They didn't mean to conjure the dark arts, tamper with the space-time continuum, and bury their cardboard cutout husbands in the front yard. It just kinda....happened.
​
Nightb*tch meets The Crucible in an absurd tale about finding your people, at any age.

Cause, man, hormones are a witch.

In development.

How the Witches Came: A play about finding your coven

    While the excerpt here is just a 44 page sample of a larger work, it is a must-read! Brennan is a master of feminist absurdism - spinning a tale that skips, hops and cartwheels through time and space. Parts are baffling, but intoxicatingly so. The emotional reality is oh so true. This is a play about RIGHT NOW. Also, it's genuinely hilarious. I'm eager to read the rest!
