The Witches of Paisley tells the tragic story of the trials of
1697 when more than thirty women, men and children

crime of ‘witchcraft’. Using the drama of opera to bring the
tragedy suffered by these people into focus, we draw on
some of the greatest music ever written and the poems of
Robert Tannahill, Paisley’s ‘weaver poet’, to comment on and describe the characters
and events of the trials.
