The South Bank is going sinisterly supernatural this spring as the London Dungeon announces its wicked new show, Curse of The Witch . On the 401st anniversary of her execution the show tells the story of Elizabeth Sawyer, a Londoner hanged for witchcraft under King James I in 1621 at the infamous Tyburn Tree near Marble Arch, where thousands of suspected witches were hanged over the years. The show begins with Elizabeth’s imprisonment at Newgate Prison as she awaits execution more than 400 years ago. Guests brave, or foolish, enough to pay a visit will find themselves in the darkest cells of Newgate Prison and locked up alongside those accused of witchcraft to await their execution. Confronted with her own mortality, Elizabeth wails in despair before cursing James I and releasing a wave of malevolent magic that will keep guests clinging to one another on the edge of their seats. The new London Dungeon show The Curse of The Witch opens to the public on April 2 and is included in the standard ticket price. Book ahead to avoid horrible disappointment: www.thedungeons.com/london
