Abigail/1702, by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

The legend has it that I found my way to Boston and became a harlot — or that I boarded a ship for Barbados — but that were only the legend …

What really happened to The Crucible’s Abigail Williams after she stole through Salem’s forest one dark night in search of a new life and new beginning? In this exciting world premiere, 10 years have passed since the infamous witch trials, but Abigail still struggles to atone for her sins, the ones history remembers — and darker… Show more ones that live in her heart. As she cares for a young sailor on the brink of death, a mysterious stranger from Abigail’s past catches up with her, sending her on one final, suspense-filled quest for redemption.

Blake’s Take: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is burning up the entertainment world. He’s a writer for the hit TV show Glee, a new Broadway playwright and one of the most imaginative voices of his generation. I’m thrilled to premiere his compelling new script with you.
