The Crucible
Step into Salem for a ★★★★★ ‘compelling… vital watch’ (Broadway World) as Arthur Miller’s must-see thriller The Crucible unfolds in the uniquely immersive atmosphere of London’s Globe Theatre. Must end 12 July.
A climate of mass hysteria and ruthless judgement sweeps through Salem, Massachusetts when rumours grow that a group of girls are practising witchcraft. Now the townspeople must decide – whose freedom will they sacrifice for their own?
Director Ola Ince‘s ‘thrilling and chilling’ ★★★★ (Daily Mail) production ‘thrives in the Globe Theatre’ and ‘breathes new life into this classic’ ★★★★ (The Reviews Hub), which remains as ‘unsettlingly pertinent’ ★★★★ (London Theatre) today as in 1950s America.
But the Globe Theatre’s ‘blistering’ ★★★★ (WhatsOnStage) first modern classic won’t be around for long. This limited run must end on 12 July, so get your tickets before they’re gone.
‘Vengeance is walking Salem’
This production contains scenes of physical violence, weapons, stage blood and gore. The play contains themes of racism and references to hanging and child loss. Please contact the Ticketing team on 020 7401 9919 or [email protected] if you would like further details on the play’s content.
