Gingerbread
Location: Vineland, NJ
Type: Theater
Seventeen years ago, Harriett Lamb — a powerful witch — made a pact with Sandra Davis. Sandra traded her first born child for wealth and power while Harriett stole away in the night. Now, as the holiday season fast approaches, Harriett, old, sick and dying, is visited by her old customer. Sandra wants her child back and she’s willing to pay any price and destroy anyone for the reunion. Their battle includes Wade, a vicious misogynistic hit-man who is looking forward to his time with Harriett; Alica, the seventeen year old apprentice whose growing power brings her into conflict with her mentor; Cameron, Sandra’s possible son and a definite trap.
Magic, violence, love, lust and wealth are used by each to destroy the other and only two things are certain: that everyone’s wishes will come true and that those deepest desires will burn until nothing is left but ash.
