“I have been your servant, God, but now, I want your house."
The first time Joan was called a witch was when she was eight years old, and from that moment, she knew that the man they called the prophet wouldn’t save her. The miracles performed on Abney Farm were mere mirages to Joan as she slowly becomes disillusioned with the altar at which Beau, her father, was willing to sacrifice anyone for his destiny. This play is a Southern Gothic retelling of the tragedy of Shakespeare's Macbeth, inviting you to bear witness to man’s ruthless grasp on destiny and asking you to judge the price of liberation. Robbed of her identity and reduced to a pawn in her father’s fanatical pursuit, Joan must keep her sister and herself afloat amidst the marshes of Laurel as they unearth the bloodied bill of Beau’s past.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
