The Ungodly
BY JOANNA CARRICK
“It’s an apocalyptic fight for God, and it’s a fight that we must win.”
1645. A dark shadow is spreading across England with suspicions of witchcraft on the rise.
After wowing audiences in Ipswich at The Avenue Theatre and in London at the Southwark Playhouse Borough, The Ungodly is heading to New York Off Broadway! The Ungodly will be part of 59E59 Theaters Brits Off Broadway 2025 season from 24 April to 11 May. Catch it before it heads to America for 3 special fundraiser preview performances in Ipswich at The Avenue Theatre!
In the remote village of Mistley, Susan Edwards, step-sister of self-proclaimed Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, has a choice to make. Does she remain rational in a community torn apart by fear, intolerance, and hysteria or become seduced by the idea that her baby’s death was caused by witches controlled by Satan?
