Joey Merlo's The Witch of St. Elmora Street explores love, heartbreak, and witchcraft within an Italian-American family circa 1987. Weaving together tales of family lore and superstitious hearsay The Witch of St. Elmora Street is a grotesque comedy about what it means to live with a broken heart.
"I remember my family telling me this bizarre story about a woman who was involved with dark magic," says Merlo. "It was almost Shakespearian. She believed that if you put your period blood in someone's espresso you could get that person to fall in love with you."
