Smoke Damage

A vacation in Europe becomes a quest as five women visit the landmarks where nine million women were tortured and killed as witches. The action slips around in time, connecting the modern travelers with the women of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Gradually the tourists are transformed into terrorists – with a twist. Smoke Damage is a blend of wit, fact, fairy tale, and chilling quotations from the Church’s handbook for witch hunters. Smoke Damage was produced by Nightwood Theatre in Toronto in 1983.
