SALEM TOWNE
A Staged Reading of a new Musical Drama.
Salem Towne is a powerful and moving drama portraying the best and worst of human nature. Twelve original songs presented by a cast of twelve accomplished performers, gives us the opportunity to visit in a new way, the witchcraft hysteria in Salem, 1692.
Local composer/dramatist Linda Towne Clifford, who is a direct descendant of Rebecca Nurse, hanged for the crime of witchcraft, weaves excerpts of the Salem trial records into dialogue and lyrics. Her ancestral connection and extensive research gives an intimate and poignant picture of the joys and sorrows of the innocent, and reminds us that the lessons of Salem continue to be relevant today.
Through the lyrical, melodic passages, the laughter and tears, the magic of her music ultimately reaffirms faith in the indomitable human spirit.
For students and adults, an evening of theater not to be missed.
