What’s It About?
There are five witches: elegant Miss White, “combustible” Red, fatherly Gray, silent Blue and young Black who speaks in quotations. They move through the mortal world of New York seeking to do good and enact some justice in the world. They intrude on mortal lives for a moment, offering a precious second chance, a single wish, what a person does with that chance is up to them.
