Grab your broom sticks and join Edy Hurst on a wyrd and wonderfull journey of self-discoverie through the realms of the Lancashire Witch Trials, Neurodivergence and the Vengaboys!
Following successful previews at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Edy Hurst’s Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Himself premieres at The Lowry, Salford for two performances this Halloween before embarking on a UK tour.
Award-winning comedian Edy Hurst has created a new magical and mystical comedy theatre show that offers a humorous, heartfelt and unique insight into the shifting and sometimes mysterious world of late-stage ADHD diagnosis. Drawing on his recently discovered magical ancestry which dates back to the – Lancashire Witch Trials, Edy seamlessly weaves together engaging storytelling, absurdist humour and important messages about the Vengaboys 1998 debut album to discover whether the answers to all his struggles could be found in magical gifts passed down through the generations? At once, introspective, relatable, and delightfully irreverent, Edy Hurst’s Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Himself explores themes of neurodivergence, historical injustice, superstition, and personal identity.
Edy Hurst’s Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Himself was commissioned by The Lowry as part of its flagship artist development program Developed With; an 18month program for artists in the North of England, with additional support from Arts Council England and Attenborough Arts Centre. The show is written and performed by Edy Hurst and directed by Joz Norris.
