The London Dungeon has revealed a new permanent show that will launch in April this year.

Curse of the Witch opens to the public on Saturday April 2 and will be included in the standard ticket price.

With 16 shows and rides to enjoy, there’s plenty to do at The Dungeons.

The show tells the story of Elizabeth Sawyer, a Londoner who is waiting for execution after being accused of cursing and killing her neighbour.

The London Dungeon worked alongside Malcolm Gaskill when developing the show. He is a Professor of Early Modern History at the University of East Anglia and a witch expert.

Speaking about the Curse of the Witch, Malcolm said: “The case of Elizabeth Sawyer is one that has fascinated people for four centuries.

"Today, we may think she wasn’t a witch - but what mattered at the time was that those who accused her were convinced of her guilt owing to her anti-social behaviour, her swearing, the misfortunes of her neighbours and anyone who crossed her, and in the end a mark on her body like a teat where, it was believed, she fed the devil incarnate.

“The Curse of The Witch show at the London Dungeon tells both sides of the story, intertwining historical facts and myths surrounding witchcraft.

"With the truth being at times even scarier than the myth I can confidently say the new show will cause a lot of screams, but also offer those interested a unique and immersive lesson on witches and the part witch-fearing Londoners played in prosecuting and executing those accused.”
