Beskrivning

“Rumour was loose in the air, hunting for some neck to rest on.” Salem,1692 The girls didn’t feel the word aimed, nor were aware that it hit. They didn’t feel their smashed flesh closing over it like water. They weren’t aware that their behaviour, unbecoming of virtuous young ladies, marked them as prey. Witch, a whispered dart from the shadows. The hungry thought of these young women being tainted by the devil led to a frenzied escalation of accusations between neighbours in the Puritan Salem Village. The trials culminated with the execution of 20 people on charges of consorting with the devil. 20 people hung like blackened apples on the trees of Salem, hanging one behind another, a puritanical ward against uncanny young women. It’s been said more than once that the Salem witchcraft was the rock on which the theocracy shattered. The players will sculpt the stories, relationships and passions of the young women of Salem, ultimately deciding whether hysteria or the dark hunted through Salem.
