    “ Not only is "The Witches," a compelling, contemporary story told with natural dialogue, but it also has genuine moments of terror. From its humor to its history to its difficult but poignant intergenerational dialogue, the script uses its four actors to create magic. ”

    “ A refreshingly modern play. Deeply cinematic and engaging. Hansen gracefully tells a story of unity, sisterhood, and the importance of history. "The Witches" is a cutting satire on the non-profit sector, while also showing a deep appreciation and love for the subject. A truly enjoyable read. ”
