Tituba
PolyXo (UK)
Playwright Winsome Pinnock gives a compelling voice to the enslaved
woman who was the the first person to be accused of witchcraft during
the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Relegated to the sidelines of
history in Arthur Miller’s Crucible, Tituba is resurrected with
complexity and humanity. A stranger and perhaps truer story of the
events that led to her confessions and the havoc they caused.
Contextualising cultural norms of the time and asking difficult
questions, Tituba invites her audience to confront the horrors of the
past with humour and compassion. Performed by Faith Abongo.
