The Salem Witch Trials come alive in Arthur Miller’s masterpiece, “The Crucible,” playing on the Lincoln Theater big screen, Thursday, March 9 at 7 p.m. and Friday, March 10 at 2 p.m.
This gripping revival, presented by The National Theatre, was captured from a live performance on the Olivier stage, the largest of The National’s three theaters located in the UK. Under the direction of Lyndsey Turner, this “5 star-scorcher” (The Sunday Times) is a must-see contemporary production of one of the most notable works of the last century.
A witch hunt is beginning in this captivating parable of power from playwright Arthur Miller (“Death of a Salesman,” “A View from the Bridge”). Following the Salem Witch Trials, the townsfolk fall into paranoid chaos. 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. Leading the all-star cast are Erin Doherty (The Crown) as Abigail Williams and Brendan Cowell (Yerma) as John Procter. With a stunning set from Tony-Award Winner Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy), “The Crucible” provides a spectacle perfect for the big screen, including rain that weeps in between scenes, a backdrop that occasionally lights up to feature characters in the foreground, and a gleaming hard tiled floor which feels fittingly Puritan. And with National Theatre Live, you always have the best seat in the house!
