Valerie is a poisoner, her sister-in-law Claire is a virgin, Webster is an indentured servant, her mistress Georgina is a pain in the ass, and Prudence and Fortitude have a weird feeling about each other…but can we call it witchcraft? Bonnets is a dark punk comedy of history, weaving between the 17th and 19th Centuries, this absurdist, exploration of love and violence shows how easily three women become murderers.
