[Vwoolf] Woolfian off-Broadway play: Modern Witches at The Players Theatre in NYC

[Anne Fernald]

Dear Woolfians,

If you are in the New York area this May, this play from the Edinburgh
Fringe may be of interest: My colleague in Philosophy's sister wrote this
one-woman show with a Woolfian theme, "Modern Witches." It's paired with
another one-act, "Brain Hemingway" about a woman writer tortured by her
inner Hemingway. (These are clearly not for everyone, but sound very funny
to me--maybe to some of you, too.) Run is 5/2-5/19, Thu, Fri, Sat at 7; Sun
at 3.

Yours,

Anne

Perfect for anyone fascinated with contemporary witchery and Halloween,
Modern Witches is a solo performance about Virginia Woolf, queer
relationship anxiety, and, of course, witchcraft. From the storefront of a
mystic shop to the rabbit hole of #WitchTok, actress Kate struggles to
create the perfect self-tape audition as Virginia Woolf, though she tries
to bolster her performance with various magical ingredients. She unravels,
revealing that she is frozen in the midst of running away from her totally
normal, healthy relationship — and does not understand why. From a state of
deep desperation, Kate accidentally summons the ghost of Virginia Woolf,
whose bold approach to life helps her to work through the root of her fear.

Katie Kopajtic is a writer, actor and producer whose work spans theatre,
film and digital publication.
