Music by: Benedicte Adrian & Ingrid Bjørnov Book by: Ole A. Sørli & Piers Haggard

Lyrics by: Kit Hesketh-Harvey Directed by: Piers Haggard

Maria Vittoria has fallen in love with her German tutor, Daniel, recently made a bishop of the Catholic Church. They are married and Daniel takes Maria back to his family home in Heidelberg where she meets Anna Regina, his possessive elder sister. Anna Regina accuses Maria of having cast a spell on Daniel, and the townspeople soon imprison her for witchcraft. Read the complete synopsis. To get a better idea of how it all unfolds, take a look through the lyrics from the London production.

Which Witch is loosely adapted from an incident in the "Malleus Maleficarum", a 1487 book about witchcraft. It was meant to be an instruction manuel on the hunting and prosecution of witches, and was used as a comprehensive authority in witchcraft trials throughout Europe. Read more about the history of witchcraft and witch hunting, or read a bit more about the history of the musical.

There are three main recordings of this show, including two fairly complete ones. Take a look at my reviews of the CDs, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen this show on stage! And as far as I know, it's not playing anywhere at the moment. If you know otherwise, please pass the info on! I hope that whenever it's next produced, I'll be able to see it, and share my thoughts here.

Since I haven't seen the show for myself, all of my favourite performers come from the recordings - take a look at my thoughts on some of them! Once you're done looking around here, check out some of the other Which Witch websites that are out there.
