"...Adapted by the members of Convergence Theatre—a collective founded two years ago by Elena Velasco, who is director, choreographer, and producer of this play—Witch is a streamlined version of a 17th century box office hit called The Witch of Edmonton."

"...The production connects victims of gendered violence across centuries: the burning of witches in Jacobean England and the very real modern-day threat of sexual and domestic violence. Based on the Jacobean play "The Witch of Edmonton" written by William Rowley, John Ford, and Thomas Dekker, the play combines the heightened language with fluid dances, and projections to create a performance that is spiritual and all-encompassing."

"...Witch serves up a potent brew of Jacobean drama, mysticism, comedy, and heady commentary in just over an hour. It's a bit rough around the edges, but its creative ambition and urgent call to address violence against women makes for a worthwhile evening."
