"There is a plan, and an excellent one too. I plan to prepare a tall of glass of the finest sherry we have in the cellar, I shall then don my nightgown, and retire to my bed, where I shall await a good night's rest, during which, one can only hope, I shall die."

synopsis
1634 England was a dangerous time to be alive, with accusations of sorcery in every ear and witchfinders knocking at every door. One such witchfinder is young Thomas Braddock, who so far, has discovered a total of zero witches. With the royal birthday fast approaching, Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins, has promised King Charles I the ashes of the last witch in the country, and Thomas must prove himself and find her, or it'll be him at the stake. With the help of his staff, Isaac and Catherine, he must search under every rock, behind every tree, and over every hill to find the last witch in England.
Surely an impossible task, it's not like she'll just come knocking at the door, right? And even if she did, he couldn’t just hand her over…could he?
Put aside everything you know about facts and historical accuracy. In this exciting, brand-new comedy, you’ll forget all about the dark, depressing side of the witch-trials, and focus on the fun and laughs to be had on the way.'
