Taken from the Faustian play The Witch of Edmonton, written in 1621 by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker, and John Ford, Silverman's story, directed by Hecht for Profile Theatre, explores what happens when a devil named Scratch (Joshua J. Weinstein) comes to Edmonton and tries to tempt the villagers into trading their souls in exchange for their secret desires. What Cuddy Banks (Charles Grant) wants is the freedom to pursue his beloved Morris dancing ... and to finally receive some unconditional love and respect from his father, Sir Arthur Banks (George Mount).
