Stephen Omer as the Court Poisoner
AN ACCOUNT OF SIX POISONINGS
The Court Poisoner Stephen Omer
Directed by Maurice Thorogood
My sign was the pestle and mortar. My knowledge was roots and seeds, vines and leaves, bulbs and berries. I was a grinder, a blender, a crusher, a mulcher; I was a master of tubers. I mixed the tinctures and measured the powders that might cure or kill. A single grain may be the difference between health and death. Mine was a calling. A position of trust. I was the court’s poisoner.
