The Last Witch is based on the historical account of Janet Horne, the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland. Her refusal to deny the charge of witchcraft puts her in dangerous opposition to the new sheriff, and her defiance threatens not only her own life but that of her daughter.
The Firebrand production of The Last Witch, directed by Richard Baron, featured in Pitlochry Festival Theatre's summer season and toured to the Tron Theatre, Glasgow (30 October - 3 November) and the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh ( 7 - 10 November) in the autumn.
