'Becky Nurse of Salem,' a Black Comedy About Generational Trauma
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
A new play from Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl stars Tony winner Deirdre O'Connell as Becky Nurse, a descendent of one of the witches executed in Salem. Becky still lives in Salem, and wants to provide a good life for her granddaughter, who has been struggling with her mental health. But when Becky loses her job, she turns to witchcraft for aid. Ruhl and O'Connell join us to discuss "Becky Nurse of Salem" which is running at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater through December 31.
