Vinegar Tom by Caryl Churchill

Directed by Judy Bauerlein and Shaun Heard. 

With potent images of disturbing injustices, Vinegar Tom uses a seventeenth-century witch hunt to condemn the past and present oppression of women. Caryl Churchill shows how marginalized women, who did not fit into the narrow social categories of the patriarchy, were often labeled witches for little reason other than their non-conformity.
