The real-life witches had not even come to trial before this sensational dramatization was performed at the original Globe in 1634. Everything is going wrong at a wedding and everyone believes that a local coven is to blame. The play mocks the naivete of those who cannot see what is under their noses, that is, organized witchcraft and its double, Roman Catholicism.
