The Hammer and Helena is the true story of the most evil book ever written and its horrifying legacy.Helena Scheuberin finds herself the unwitting muse of a religious zealot – the self-proclaimed Hammer of Witches.

Her witch trial would raise the ire of the Hammer, its outcome dooming women for centuries after.

Now, Helena confronts her accuser one final time with her soul on the line.Written and directed by David Griffiths, creator of ArtsGroupie CIC’s chilling adaption of The Signalman and starring Samantha Alton (‘Kitty Queen of the Washhouse’) as Helena Scheuberin and John Maguire (‘A Portrait of William Roscoe’) as Heinrich Kramer.

ArtsGroupie CIC blends its acclaimed portrayal of historical events with a dramatic and frightening narrative worthy of their annual sell out performances of Ghost Stories for Christmas, which have been featured in the New York Times.
