Go behind-the-scenes at new musical Coven

We were fortunate enough to go behind the scenes at the new musical Coven!

With music and lyrics by Daisy Chute and Rebecca Brewer, and a book by Brewer, the show is set in 1612 in Pendle, Lancashire. The story follows Jenet, who, as a child, accuses her own family of witchcraft. Two decades later, she faces accusations herself and must reckon with the legacy of the witch trials.

Directed by Miranda Cromwell, the production will now run at Kiln from to 17 January 2026, with a press night toning, 11 November. Continues below. 

The cast includes Allyson Ava-Brown (Nell/Elizabeth), Rachel Barnes (Ensemble), Gabrielle Brooks (Jenet), Shiloh Coke (Frances/Alizon), Rosalind Ford (King James / Ensemble), Alice Gruden (Ensemble), Penny Layden (Martha/Judge), Holly Mallett (Ensemble), Lauryn Redding (Rose), Kathryn Tindall (Ensemble), Diana Vickers (Edmund/Covell), Jacinta Whyte (Maggie), and Jennifer Whyte (Keys).
