Commentaires : Written at the height of the McCarthy Communist trials, Arthur Miller's ever-relevant work of paranoia and moral panic is re-imagined by multiple award-winning director Yael Farber, and performed in-the-round on a specially designed stage.

Spooks and The Hobbit star Richard Armitage takes the title role as a man who battles for his conscience and purity of spirit, amidst the chaos and lustful superstition of the Salem witch-trials, with devastating consequences.
Presse : "... staged with a mixture of simplicity and dramatic power that builds up an ominous feeling of dread and fear." Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

"... tremendous production of a play that, in Proctor's cry "Is the accuser always holy now?", retains its disturbing relevance." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"At times, the show descends into overblown, shouty portentousness ... yet other moments are spellbinding." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail

"Although a running time of more than three and a half hours sounds daunting, The Crucible is an absorbing and ultimately devastating experience. It taxes the mind but also spears you in the guts." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
