White Witch is directed by Douglas Prout, and was originally written by Jane Crichton, with additional material added by David Tulloch and Cameron Anderson. Described as a musical that’s riddled with rich historical components, White Witch reportedly promises to be enlightening, uplifting and educational, a play which embraces the future of theatre in western Jamaica. The White Witch of Rose Hall is a long-told story of fear and myth, and the White Witch play offers a new perspective to the little-known side of the notorious Annie Palmer. This musical will be filled with ancestral imagery, energetic dances and stirring performances of guile and passion.

White Witch’s cast of over 20 includes students drawn from several schools across St. James, and most of them will be performing in front of a live audience for the very first time. The cast also includes Philip Clarke, David Tulloch, Marlon Brown, Keiran King, Karla Josephs, Coleen Lewis and the Fairfield Youth Troupe.

Theatre fans in Western Jamaica, listen out for more on this play soon. The White Witch play is being sponsored by Rose Hall Developments Limited. Proceeds from the show will go towards projects being undertaken by the Montego Bay-based charitable organization – the Committee for the Upliftment of the Mentally Ill .
