Saturday-Night Theatre: The Last Witch
Sat 28th Apr 1979, 20:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM
By Christopher Russell

'You talk of haste when proofs of Mother Wenham's sorcery go back 20 years and more? Have you not heard how poor Susan Aylott's baby died, how Richard Harvey's wife died, how the witch's own husbands both died? Must Anne Thorne die too before you will act?’

The play, set in 1712, deals with the last trial for witchcraft in England, is based on fact.
