Who Is Molly Leigh?

A new community opera exploring the legend of accused witch Molly Leigh at B.ARTS in Stoke in July 2025

Through immersive music and storytelling, we will explore local history from the perspective of women and those excluded by society for being 'different' to find out, "Who is Molly Leigh?"

Composed and Written by Francesca Le Lohe and Gareth Mattey, the opera is creatively produced by B.ARTS and co-created with members of the local community.

B.ARTS, 64-72 Hartshill Road, Stoke, ST4 7RB

Tickets are "Pay what you can". Recommended donation £5
