The Last Night imagines real Connecticut women, Mary Barnes and Rebecca Greensmith, jailed together the night before their hanging for witchcraft.
Historical accuracy, combined with informed conjecture where there were no historical records led to a script that explores not only the facts of the Hartford Witchcraft Panic, but the hearts and souls of two women who lived, were accused, and were hanged on Jan. 25, 1663.
This play was originally commissioned by Andres Verzosa at the Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington. The original reading of this work won a Certificate of Merit from the Connecticut League of History Organizations.
