Description

It is 1692 and New England is consumed with witchcraft fever. A magically wise grandfather and his enchantress granddaughter brilliantly contrive to save the village of Ipswich from the terrors of nearby Salem, and all ends happily. In the summer of this year, little Ipswich is caught up in superstition. Grandfather, the Wise One, and his granddaughter, Megan, an Enchantress First Class, come from the Glen in the Land of Faerie to help the village. Soon entangled in the dishonesty and prejudice of the villagers, the unlikely pair are resolved to use their good magic only as necessary; Megan, not used to humans and short on temper, complicates the situation. Eventually, out of many turns of plot, the villagers learn a valuable lesson about bigotry, and the love story of Megan and Nat ends happily, thanks to the wise magic of Grandfather. A delightful adventure story for all. Two settings: at Faerie Glen and the village common of Ipswich. Costumes of the time. Approximate running time: 2 hours.
