The Welkin

“There is a woman in need of help. She is a nasty, stupid, wicked wretch – and I mean to save her life…”

In 18th century Suffolk, Sally Poppy is condemned to execution for murder unless she can prove her pregnancy. A jury of twelve women is summoned to determine whether she is truthful or merely attempting to avoid execution. As the women deliberate, their personal stories, hidden secrets, and societal pressures come to light.
