    Presented By The Flea Author: Zora Howard Most widely known as a tertiary character in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible , Tituba was a 17th Century Black woman enslaved by the Reverend Samuel Parris in Salem, Massachusetts. When rumors of witchcraft plagued the town, Tituba was amongst the first to be imprisoned for her involvement in the “Black arts.” Though her influence on the witch trials to follow was substantial, she was mostly forgotten in the historical record and the literary imagination. In THE MASTER’S TOOLS , Tituba speaks, post-Salem. At last an agent in her own myth making, Tituba defies the many masters that have laid claim to her story, centering instead her own subjectivity and violent truth. Deftly weaving humor, terror, and spectacle, Tituba subverts our notions of good and evil, challenging our perception of this canonical character and the canon itself. THE MASTER’S TOOLS was developed as a part of the Under Construction Series of the Under the Radar Festival and in an international presentation with Wiener Festwochen in Vienna Austria, both in 2024. Showtimes Friday, January 8 - Sunday, January 31 | 7:00PM Additional showtimes to be announced Run Time 60 minutes For Box Office inquiries, please contact: info@theflea.org
