About
The Last Witch Bridget Cleary , written and performed by Eve O'Mahony, is a solo performance based on the real events surrounding the death of Bridget Cleary in Tipperary in 1895, often described as Ireland’s last witch burning. Through storytelling and historical detail, the piece examines the beliefs, tensions and social conditions that led to her killing. Blending folklore, land politics and history, the performance explores how fear and superstition can take hold within a community. At its centre is Bridget herself—reclaimed from myth and retold with clarity and humanity.
