“It’s like if Sylvia Federici and Fleabag got really obsessed with Woolf” — our favorite audience review

In Modern Witches, a lesbian actor uses witchcraft to cure her relationship anxiety while struggling to create a self-tape audition for a role as Virginia Woolf, culminating in a surprise spectral visit.

Bride-to-be Kate, an actress fueled by a self-tape audition to be Virginia Woolf, abandons her rehearsal dinner to get the audition off her chest. She settles in her haven, the mystic shop where she charges candles for a living, hoping that the magic around her will enhance her performance. Her pursuit of the perfect take morphs into an exploration of Woolf's posthumous injustices and queer but complicated affairs, mirroring her own anxieties about identity, love, and commitment.
