Due to overwhelming popular demand, the Kiln Theatre has announced a further extension of the world premiere of the new musical Coven. This gripping production, based on England’s notorious witch trials, will now run from October 31, 2025, to January 17, 2026.
Coven is a collaboration between book writer and lyricist Rebecca Brewer and Grammy Award-winning composer Daisy Chute. It is helmed by Olivier Award-winning director Miranda Cromwell, ensuring a powerful and polished theatrical experience.
The musical transports audiences to Pendle, Lancashire, 1612, where a nine-year-old girl named Jennet accuses her own family of witchcraft. Twenty-one years later, the tables turn: Jennet finds herself imprisoned and accused, forced to confront the dark secrets of her past and the legacy of witchcraft as she listens to the shocking stories of the women surrounding her.
Billed as a thrilling new musical, Coven combines uplifting anthems and powerful melodies in a fresh re-interrogation of the true story of the Pendle Witch Trials. It celebrates the strength of 13 women who rise above the forces that seek to silence them.
To celebrate the extension, an exclusive video of the new track 'Burn Our Bodies' has been released, featuring the exceptional cast performing a powerful segment of the show.
The formidable cast features Allyson Ava-Brown, Gabrielle Brooks, Shiloh Coke, Lauryn Redding, and Diana Vickers, among others. Their performances bring to life this compelling story of power, faith, and sisterhood.
Coven has secured its place as a must-see production this autumn and winter. The show, which promises an unforgettable experience—inviting you to "Join the coven"—will have its Press Night on Tuesday, November 11. Tickets, priced from $\textsterling{15}$ to $\textsterling{45}$, are available now via KilnTheatre.com. Don't miss the chance to experience this scorching new work before its final trial date in the new year!
