Judith: A Parting from the Body / Vinegar Tom
About the show
The Potomac Theatre Project presents 'Judith,' a biblical tale of female heroism and sexuality, and 'Vinegar Tom,' a look at gender politics during a 17th century English witch hunt. More…
The story of Judith has inspired artists in nearly every generation. In Howard Barker's telling, the fatal encounter between Judith and Holofernes becomes a complex duel of seduction and deception and a compelling study of intense desire and the sometimes terrifying nature of love. Caryl Churchill's 'Vinegar Tom' is a haunting play with seriously subversive intent – misogyny, torture, and songs. In a village in 17th century England three women are threatened with death for the practice of witchcraft. 'Vinegar Tom' is a cabaret about hanging witches, with no witches.
See it if you like watching great actors tackle intense material.
Don't see it if you prefer action to intellectual dialogue.
