National Theatre Live: "The Crucible"

A witch hunt is beginning in Arthur Miller’s captivating parable of power with Erin Doherty ("The Crown") and Brendan Cowell ("Yerma"). Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial. Lyndsey Turner ("Hamlet") directs this contemporary new staging, designed by Tony Award-winner Es Devlin ("The Lehman Trilogy"). Captured live from the Olivier stage at the National Theatre. Run time is three hours.
