The Witching Hour By ReBels Young Company at Birmingham REP Saturday 12 July.

Preview.


The Witching Hour is a darkly comic, high stakes courtroom game show where charm is your only defence and the audience holds the power to decide your fate. In this world, justice is entertainment and one wrong move could make you the villain of the week.


The show blends satire and spectacle to explore themes of reputation, power, and performance in a society obsessed with outrage. Bold original and unafraid to challenge expectations, The Witching Hour is a fearless piece of new theatre from the next generation of artists.
