The Maggie Wall by Martin McCormick

The Maggie Wall by Martin McCormick
A co-production between Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Aberdeen Arts Centre

 An enthralling new play from Martin McCormick, inspired by a monument near Dunning called ‘The
Maggie Wall’, the site of a mysterious grave to a woman tried and executed in the 17th century for
witchcraft. It’s a collection of stones about 20 feet high, bearing the words in white lettering –
“Maggie Wall burnt here 1657 as a witch”.

The Maggie Wall explores the vulnerability of women and injustices suffered by them in a patriarchal
and closed community and resonates with contemporary experiences, as well as reminding us of a
chapter of Scottish and British history in which many people, predominately women, were accused,
tried and killed as suspected witches.

Tickets : Pay what you wish £10 – £16

*Advisory warning – we recommend this play for those aged 12 and over, due to strong language
