The Crucible

Arthur Miller

1953

"How can I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name.”

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a partially fictionalised telling of the Salem witch trials of 1692/3. Accusations of witchcraft following a game played by the daughters of a Massachusetts village spiral out of control and many must choose between their reputations and their integrity.

This production, captured by Digital Theatre live at London’s Old Vic theatre, was directed by Yaël Farber, starred Richard Armitage as John Proctor and enjoyed a sold-out run, receiving widespread critical acclaim.

*Contains mild offensive language and mild violence

Yaël Farber’s revival of Miller’s witch-hunt classic is so powerful, it feels conjured rather than directed
