An Original Adaptation of the 1621 Thomas Dekker, John Ford, and William Rowley Play
Adapted one-act play - Drama- Action
On 19 April 1621, a woman named Elizabeth Sawyer was hanged at Tyburn. Her story was on the book stalls within days and within weeks was adapted for the stage as The Witch of Edmonton. The devil stalks Edmonton in the shape of a large black dog and, just as Elizabeth Sawyer makes her demonic pact, the newlywed Frank Thorney enters into his own dark bargain in the shape of a second, bigamous marriage. Torn between sympathy for Sawyer and Thorney and a clear-eyed assessment of their crimes, the play was the finest and most nuanced treatment of witchcraft that the stage would see for centuries.
Major Themes
The Witch's Agency: Elizabeth Sawyer is driven to witchcraft by the community's refusal to accept her, showing a "self-fulfilling prophecy".
The Devil Dog (Tom): Represents both internal evil and external influence, acting as a tempter rather than just a helper.
Bigamy and Corruption: Frank’s actions reflect the destructive nature of avarice and dishonesty.

ABOUT Mrs. Elrod
CONTACT: kelrod@wcpss.net
I have been teaching in the North Carolina Public High School System since 2014, while also managing my theatrical professional career throughout the Triangle and Triad area. I have professional experience working in front of the camera, behind the camera, on stage, back stage, and in the production scene shop as a carpenter, technician, and technical director with various productions, including opera, musicals, plays, commercials, and concerts in Texas, venues in Austria, Spain, France, and Italy, and right here in North Carolina. I thoroughly enjoy teaching students about the art form that is, sincerely, my passion.
My classroom is not the traditional classroom. I teach students about the intense production demands through project planning, observation, practiced application, and productive reflection to guide future endeavours.
In my class, we are learning about Design and Technology, Performance Preparation, Directing and Management, and Critical Script writing and Analysis.
At the top, you will see a slideshow of pictures displaying students working towards meeting the various demands of putting on a play/ musical and studying the theatrical production process.
