The Crucible at The Bridewell Theatre

How would you defend yourself if you were accused of an invisible crime? 

Mass hysteria erupts across Salem after a teenage girl cries witchcraft. A brutal witch-hunt ensues, led by the girls who now wield their terrifying power across the town.

Arthur Miller’s thrilling dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials tells the story of one of the darkest episodes of American history, when accusations of witchcraft spread like wildfire.

What if truth and lies, science and magic, were not so easy to distinguish? In this version of The Crucible, you’re in the dark too. Come to the Bridewell theatre to get caught up in the truth and lies. Discover the disastrous extent to which, when it’s one person’s word against another’s, fiction can spiral out of control.

Brought to you by award-winning theatre company Sedos, resident theatre company at The Bridewell theatre. This September, we invite you into the shadows of Salem and unveil the townspeople’s secrets.
