The Crucible

by Arthur Miller

A witch hunt is beginning in Arthur Miller’s captivating parable of power with Erin Doherty (The Crown) and Brendan Cowell (Yerma).

Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have almighty power.  As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial.

Lyndsey Turner (Hamlet) directs this contemporary new staging.  Designed by Tony award winner Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy) and captured live from the Olivier stage of The National Theatre.
