I love me some Crucible but no Richard Armitage washing himself down without a shirt on, no Ryan.
'nuff said.

Going to be an expensive show to tour - given the size of the cast. And given the fact that it is no longer on the GCSE syllabus, the market may have shrunk a little from what it was a few years ago.
Still a great play - if done well.

Really like the look of the Broadway version - especially with Sophie Okonedo. Would like to see her transfer with this play (or any other play) but this would only be possibly if it came to london

The Crucible
Sell a Door Theatre Company and The Queens Theatre Hornchurch, in association with Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg present Arthur Miller’s The Crucible
In 17th Century Salem, a society defined by intolerance and patriarchy, a group of teenage girls are discovered conjuring spirits. Sordid accusations of witchcraft soon fly thick and fast as the girls play judge, jury and executioner – destroying lives and changing a community forever.
The Queens Theatre, Hornchurch, award-winning Sell A Door Theatre Company in association with Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg re-invigorate Arthur Miller's terrifying allegorical comment on McCarthyism in their thrilling new production. Bringing together music and movement through a strong ensemble cast, this atmospheric staging of a theatrical classic will chill audiences to the core.
Enter the world of the Salem witch trials: a world of sensationalism, hysteria and the power of celebrity, and ask yourself how innocent we can be as we stand by and watch the drama unfold.
The Crucible is co-produced by the award-winning Sell A Door Theatre Company who have staged over 50 touring productions to date, including recent successful UK tours of The History Boys, Avenue Q, Footloose, and American Idiot

That promotional blurb worries me. This play is such a classic that it doesn't need such hype. Makes me wonder what they are hiding

I've booked. Opening night £25 with ATG card. The Exchange did a very pared back version last year which I enjoyed but I hope this one is full-on mentalness, wanton hussies speaking in tongues, Tituba levitating, nighties flying everywhere and general spookiness. Really ham it up. That might just be me though  |

Hi All, I know this is an old post but would just like to say that I am currently touring with The Crucible. We have just opened in Hornchurch and it's a fantastic show! Look forward to seeing some of you over the tour |

Look forward to seeing some of you over the tour How long is it? Don't think I could face another 4 hour Crucible especially not in the cheap seats in Brighton. Also, is there lots of shouting? I equate lots of shouting with bad acting |

The Ivo van Hove Broadway version apparently had a wolf in it. Or a dog playing a wolf. I would like to have seen that, livestock on stage is always good.
