A dark account of how fear and hate can lead to the death of innocent people, Vinegar Tom follows four women in a journey from naive innocence to their untimely executions. Set in the 17th-century during the Salem witch-hunts, the play offers a disturbing glimpse into this prejudiced society. Contemporary music, voice, rhythm, dance and story combine to offer a rare glimpse of the horror and oppressions of our past, while shedding light on attitudes which have carried through to today.
