It’s 1682; the “witch hunter” has come to town to investigate yet another suspicious incident. Will he find witchcraft or some other form of evil? The young girl in question is one, poor Anne Gunter. And she has been afflicted with something terrible: eyes rolling into the back of her head, flailing limbs, babbling verse, and even spitting out pins, to her father Brian’s astonishment. Based upon a true story, The Visitation is an intimate immersive theatre piece set in the oldest house in New York City, circa 1682. Participants will be able to wander the Wyckoff house and grounds, witnessing the story of a young girl who claims to be possessed by witches, and the two priests who try to uncover the truth.
