Mutton
You know how it is – one day you’re rubbin’ pennies together, desperately trying to pay the rent. The next, you’ve found fame and fortune stuffing eggs back up a hen and pretending it’s prophesying the end of the world.
1809. Mary Bateman is about to be hung for witchcraft and murder. Only one of those things is illegal. Her career of crime has included fake identities, magic charms, poisoned pudding, a holy hen, drunk watchmen, a fire at the mill and – of course – a freshly-shaved leg of MUTTON.
MUTTON is a new dark comedy from Brave Words, exploring the life and times of the Yorkshire Witch. How the desperation of ordinary folk in the early 1800s is paralleled today. The dangers we face by trying to grasp a little more control over our lives. And why we should take patriarchal history and shove it firmly up a chicken’s arse.
