Thomasine Gooch is a suspected witch in the 1640s who’s transported across East Anglia to attend a witch trial.
In an interview with The British Comedy Guide, Daisy explains that she plays a rather unconventional character.
She said: “Thomasine is sort of street-smart but a bit thick.
“Because she’s so different and because she likes to drink, and she likes to arm wrestle and stuff in the tavern, and do all the stuff that I kind of do myself, people think that she might be a witch cause she’s not behaving how I suppose women should be behaving.”
So will she be able to change her fate or is her life in the hands of the failing witchfinder?
