Churchill describes her 1976 drama with music as “a play about witches with no witches in it.” In a 17th century village, six women struggle to survive on their own terms in a society where the label “witch” can mean poverty, imprisonment, and death. Their rage, fear, and grief take the form of a live riot grrrl band, who provide the loud and cathartic soundtrack to an increasingly dire narrative. Vinegar Tom is a raw drama that directly addresses the fight for control over the inherent power of women. 

The razor-sharp ensemble drama features a live punk band performing an original soundtrack runs October 28 - November 20, 2022 at The Edge Off Broadway in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood.
