A play. Dornoch, in Sutherland, northern Scotland, 1727. The eccentric widow, Janet Horne boasts that she can cure beasts, call the wind and charm fish out of the sea. As her refusal to deny witchcraft incenses the local community, her crippled daughter steps dangerously into the fray. Based on the true story of Janet Horne, the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland, The Last Witch, by leading Scottish playwright Rona Munro, was specially commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival in a co-production with the Traverse Theatre.
