Shakespeare's Witch by Samantha Grosser
Shakespeare’s new play has unleashed a strange curse on the company of actors at the Globe theatre. But when seamstress Sarah Stone begs the playwright to abandon it he refuses, aware it is one of his best. And so rehearsals for Macbeth begin.

From the start it is beset by misfortune. A freak accident takes out the lead actor, and when Sarah’s half-brother Tom seduces boy player John Upton, John sees the hand of witchcraft in his own forbidden desires for men. Then Sarah weaves a spell to win the new lead player’s love, and John begins to make his accusations against her.

As rehearsals continue, brother and sister must find a way to convince John that his sins are his own - their lives and the fortune of the play are at stake. Will the fate Sarah foresaw come to pass, or is their destiny their own to decide?

Compelling, seductive, and suspenseful, Shakespeare’s Witch is an unforgettable imagining of the origins of the curse of the Scottish Play. Contains adult themes.
