Virgina Wolf as the accused and hanged witch Mary Barnes of Farmington, CT

About this event

Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 7:00 pm - Virginia Wolf of Herstory Theater will perform an act from her play, Panic in Connecticut; Accused Witches Have Their Say, that portrays Mary Barnes on the morning before she was to be hanged.

Virginia Wolf is founder of Herstory Theater, bringing to life the unsung heroines of history, as well as producing a host of projects that celebrate women and history, and a simple love of theater and performing. Her play, Panic in Connecticut; Accused Witches Have Their Say, was inspired by research on the CT Witchcraft Panics at the Stanley-Whitman House, which led to the birth of Herstory Theater!

The Mary Barnes Society at Stanley-Whitman House is dedicated to supporting the study of the Connecticut Witch Trials, with the goal of a deeper understanding of the people and cultures of this seminal time in history. Named for Mary Barnes, a Farmington woman who was executed for witchcraft on January 25, 1663, the Society will mark the 358th anniversary of her hanging by premiering a series of online presentations on the Museum’s YouTube channel from January 22-25 followed by a panel discussion on the last day.

Stanley-Whitman House, a National Historic Landmark, is a museum and living history center that collects, preserves, and interprets the history and culture of 17th to 19th-Century Farmington, Connecticut. Since 1935, it has operated under the auspices of the Farmington Village Green and Library Association which is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational organization.
