Reuters: "Superstition, torture, and its effect on the perpetrator are at the heart of historical drama 'The Last Witch,' which although set nearly 300 years ago still resonates today.
Rona Munro's play at the Royal Lyceum Theater, commissioned for the Edinburgh International Festival, is based on sparse fact and local legend about the fate of Janet Horne, convicted and burned for witchcraft around 1727, on the eve of the Scottish intellectual Enlightenment."
