Did you know that the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft estimates 4,000 people were accused and 2,500 executed? These aren't just statistics or numbers. These were real people. #endisnearplay #fringe #edfringe #London #witchcrafttrials #womennotwitches #pubtheatre #theatre

Suffragettes didn’t just smash windows — they chained themselves to fences outside Parliament to demand the vote 🔗🕊️ In "The End is Near", our heroine Caroline does exactly that. #VotesForWomen #edfringe #endisneartheplay #londontheatre #daretodiscover #london #edinburgh #suffragettes
