Rope and Flame
From the shadows of history, a forgotten story rises in fire and breath. Dragonfly Theatre Productions presents a haunting new drama inspired by the Peebles Witch Trials of 1629.
Honouring the 27 “good folk” condemned as witches, this powerful community production explores stigma, shame and compassion.
Performed by over 30 volunteer performers, this 60-minute show by Anita John, Clare Prenton, and Vivien Reid blends history, drama and wellbeing.
‘Rope and Flame’ is supported by Destination Tweed’s Community Grants Scheme through a grant made to Inspiring Life: Evie Douglas Memorial Fund, working in partnership with Dragonfly Theatre Productions. Destination Tweed’s Community Grants Scheme is made possible by funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
