Information

In 16th - 18th century Scotland, thousands - mostly women - were accused of witchcraft and many executed. How to Kill a Witch by Claire Mitchell KC and author Zoe Venditozzi examines this dark history through trial records, expert testimony and real-life stories, exposing how fear, misogyny and patriarchal power fuelled injustice. With sharp wit and righteous anger, they explore what we can learn from these tragedies - and whether history could repeat itself. Join them for a gripping discussion on justice and the cost of silencing women.
