A scorching new musical
Based on England’s most notorious witch trials

1612. Pendle, Lancashire. A witch hunt is raging and a 9-year-old Jennet accuses her own family of witchcraft. 21 years later, she finds herself imprisoned, surrounded by the most feared women in town. As the accuser becomes the accused, Jennet must confront a 250-year legacy of witchcraft and the dark secrets of her own past. As she listens to the shocking stories of the women around her, Jennet’s faith begins to crumble.

Olivier award-winning director Miranda Cromwell joins forces with Grammy award-winning Daisy Chute alongside Rebecca Brewer. A thrilling new musical combining uplifting anthems and powerful melodies in a fresh reinterrogation of the true story of the Pendle Witch Trials. With power in their veins and the earth beneath their feet, 13 women rise above the forces that seek to silence them.

Join the coven. The trial begins.

Rebeca Brewer is an actor, writer and theatre maker. In 2024, she was one of the Cameron Mackintosh Resident Writers (at MAST Mayflower Studios, alongside Daisy Chute). Rebecca and Daisy are currently writing The Last Rose of Summer, a new work inspired by Jane Austen’s connection to Southampton for MAST Mayflower Studios, premiering in summer 2025. She is currently developing a series for television and was one of 12 mentored writers as part of the 2024 Channel 4 Screenwriting Programme. She was a recipient of the prestigious MGC Futures Bursary for 2021, and an Associate Artist at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch from 2020-2021. As part of this, Rebecca was commissioned by the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Creative Estuary to create Tales from the Thames with co-writers Vickie Donoghue and folk musician MG Boulter. The sold-out show toured non-traditional spaces in Essex including a pub, a working men’s club, a few village halls and a barn. Her play Foot, about 3 teenagers in rural Derbyshire who discover a disembodied foot in the woods, was a finalist for New Perspectives’ Open Pitch in 2018, and her one-woman piece The Escape, an audio piece about going missing was a finalist for In Good Company’s ‘Take Off’ new writing award in 2019.

Music and Lyrics

Daisy Chute is a Scottish/American singer-songwriter who has found a loyal following through her award-winning songwriting and ‘gorgeous’ vocals (Guy Garvey, Elbow). 2024 brought with it a Grammy award for her involvement in The Birdsong Project and collaborations with Hollie Rogers, The Dunwells, Ed Blunt, Lady Nade and James Walker. Selling out shows across the UK, Europe and US, Daisy can be spotted with a guitar or banjo at top arts venues and festivals like Black Deer and Glastonbury. Her debut originals album of folk and Americana songs ‘Throne’ is out in 2025. Recognised as a ‘committed, professional and creative songwriter’ (Sir Ray Davies, The Kinks), Daisy’s music features regularly on BBC Radio and television and is also playlisted across thousands of Tesco and Caffe Nero stores around the world. With an abundance of recording credits, you may have heard Daisy’s vocals before without even realising. Her background in classical, jazz and folk music has led Daisy to collaborate and contribute to soundtracks ranging from TV favourites like David Attenborough documentaries to films like ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Shaun the Sheep’, and game soundtracks like The Sims 4. You may have heard her backing vocals for iconic band albums such as Radiohead ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’, or perhaps you heard her dulcet tones on one of the 3 Platinum-selling, Classical Brit-nominated albums her band All Angels released with Universal Records. When she’s not in the studio or touring, Daisy is co-creating musical theatre projects with Rebecca Brewer, including ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ about Jane Austen’s life for MAST as this year’s Cameron Mackintosh composers in residence.
