The Merry Devil of Edmonton and The Witch of Edmonton
Two little known Elizabethan plays, one a comedy the other a tragedy, both set in the village of Edmonton, now a neighbourhood of North London, here adapted for production in Edmonton, Canada. Both plays were given their first performance in the City of Edmonton as staged readings as part of Malachite Theatre's first Winter Shakespeare Festival, January, 2020. In the "Merry Devil of Edmonton", follow the exploits of Smug the Smith and his friends as they poach deer, sing songs, and, under the guidance of the magician, Fabell, help the younger generation pull their elders into the Sixteenth Century! And, in "The Witch of Edmonton", follow the tragic true story of Elizabeth Sawyer, an impoverished woman scapegoated as a witch by her fellow villagers and lead to the gallows.
