Adapted from her full length spoken word show about witches, womanhood and persecution, “Spark: The Bedroom Edition” is an adapted show that is performed entirely in Sarah’s bedroom.

Her wedding has been postponed, her tour has been cancelled and it’s also her 30th birthday; things aren’t going well. Over the course of a sleepless night alone, Sarah wonders if all the fire of her 20’s has gone out. She tells stories about witches and the women who raised her, talks about mysteries and motherhood and asks is womanhood an act of burning at the stake or rising from the ashes?
