Fans of Arthur Miller | Classics lovers | Drama enthusiasts
1690s, Salem Massachusetts. A group of girls who have been taught to keep their heads down have uneasy rumours of witchcraft circulating around them. How far will the townspeople go to save themselves?
The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, is a seminal play that delves into issues of morality, justice, terror, and public hysteria. Miller first wrote the play as a metaphor for McCarthyism in 1950s America, drawing inspiration from the actual Salem Witch Trials of 1692. The issues it explores, such as the perils of paranoia, peer pressure, and unbridled authority, are, nonetheless, very pertinent today. Directed by the acclaimed Ola Ince, known for Othello and Romeo and Juliet, this production of The Crucible delves headfirst into the psychological strain, intense passion, and tragic cost of the witch trials. Whether you're a seasoned Miller fan or this is your first time seeing The Crucible onstage, this production at the Globe promises to be a searing theatrical experience.
