Maura Tierney and Vella Lovell Join the Cast of Witch at The Geffen Playhouse

Maura Tierney (ER, The Affair) and Vella Lovell (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Significant Other) join Simon Helberg(The Big Bang Theory) in the cast of Jen Silverman’s fiendishly funny new play Witch, opening the Geffen Playhouse 2019/2020 season on August 20.

The play follows a charming devil who arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a “witch” and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.
