Description
Becky Nurse of Salem (TCG Edition) by Sarah Ruhl introduces us to Becky Nurse, an outspoken, sharp-witted tour guide at the Salem Museum of Witchcraft. Becky is attempting to navigate life in post-Obama America. As a descendant of Rebecca Nurse, who was notoriously executed for witchcraft in 1692, Becky struggles with her family legacy—after all, times have changed for women since then... haven't they?
Things take a turn when Becky loses her job for criticising The Crucible in front of schoolchildren. In search of a solution, she visits a local witch for assistance. One spell leads to another, and soon everything spirals out of control. This darkly comic play explores a woman's journey in coming to terms with her family's past and finding her own voice amidst the challenging backdrop of our "lock her up" era.
