Great Drama Finds a Unique Setting

After several young women are accused of witchcraft, the puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, descends into suspicion, accusation and panic. As hysteria takes hold tough choices must be made. Written by Arthur Miller during Senator Joseph McCarthy’s crusade against communists, ‘The Crucible’ is widely acclaimed as the playwright’s greatest work.

Staged in the unique setting of Britain’s only professional open air theatre, experience the gripping drama as the darkness descends. Directed by the theatre’s Artistic Director, Timothy Sheader, each outdoor performance of ‘The Crucible’ will be a memorable event.
