Written by the award-winning American playwright Arthur Miller, The Crucible is a powerful and political history play set in Salem in 1692. This is a time in history when witch trials were being held, resulting in a high level of hysteria, fear, and false accusations. It led to the death of innocent people. The Crucible centres on a group of girls who are rumoured to be practising witchcraft.
The Crucible will play at Shakespeare's Globe from 8 May to 12 July 2025.
