"It does not matter what is true, or not true. All that matters is what is written down."
Essex, 1643. A country divided. A town on its knees. A teenage girl with a dangerous secret.
Adapted by Ava Pickett from the award-winning novel by A. K. Blakemore, The Manningtree Witches is both a gripping historical drama and a fiercely modern exploration of fear, control, and what happens when women's voices are silenced.
It is published alongside the premiere production by Mercury Theatre Colchester in 2026.
