About The Crucible
Brought up to believe they should be seen but not heard, a group of young women suddenly find their voices, and discover that their words can have terrible power. A witch hunt ensues, and personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Soon the truth itself is on trial, and no one is safe. Arthur Miller’s classic tale of persecution and false accusations is as relevant today as it ever was.

Directed by Olivier Award-winner Lyndsey Turner, with ‘magnificent restaging’ (Telegraph) by designer Es Devlin. Turner and Devlin are joined by, costume designer, Catherine Fay; lighting designer, Tim Lutkin.
