1759. Any day now, a comet will appear in the sky, as predicted by Edmund Halley. On the ground, the murder of a child tears a community apart. The young murderer is condemned to death, but as the noose awaits, she pleads pregnancy. A jury of women are taken from their housework and locked away until they can decide whether she’s telling the truth or lying to escape her fate.

Lucy Kirkwood’s savagely beautiful play tells a gripping story of justice, rationality, superstition and intuition.

Following acclaimed productions including Uncle Vanya and Company, Fennec Fox Productions presents Kirkwood’s contemporary classic in a striking, startling new production.
