The first act is laid in Salem in 1692. The second act comprises a scene on Boston Common, another at Keith's and the final one in the town court house. The plot centres about the two Jacobite exiles and their adventures in the New World during the witch craze. Although there are many modern allusions and local hits, the atmosphere and customs of the 17th century are consistently maintained. The play will be given early in May in Cambridge and Boston only.
