About the Show

The Welkin by Lucy Kirkwood is a gripping and atmospheric drama set in rural Suffolk in 1759. When a young woman is sentenced to hang for a shocking crime, twelve local women are summoned to decide whether she is telling the truth about being pregnant—a verdict that could save her life.

As the women deliberate, tensions rise, secrets surface, and questions of justice, class, and gender collide. With its powerful ensemble of female characters and razor-sharp dialogue, The Welkin offers a haunting exploration of morality and the role of women in a world governed by men.
