A community in Salem, Massachusetts, is on the verge of pandemonium. Cries of witchcraft go out of control when a group of young women realise the strength of their combined voice, and a horrifying trial starts. This year's staging of The Crucible introduces paranoia and widespread hysteria at the Gielgud Theatre. Enjoy the iconic drama by Arthur Miller, straight from the National Theatre, where the truth is put on trial. The unsettling play by Arthur Miller depicts a civilization on the verge of collapse as private grudges turn into widespread witch hunts. Since its initial release in 1953, it has undergone numerous adaptations and reruns, and it is still incredibly relevant today. The intense and visceral performance, directed by Lyndsey Turner (Top Girls, Under Milk Wood), which debuted at the Olivier Theatre in 2022 is now moving to the West End for a brief run.
