Gaiety Productions presents Arthur Miller’s classic Tony Award-Winning ‘The Crucible’.

THE DEVIL IS ALIVE IN SALEM. It’s 1692 and the puritan town of Salem, Massachusetts is gripped by mass hysteria. A lie from a young girl, heightened by an adulterous affair, leads the community to accusations of witchcraft and a spiral of condemnation. A gripping story of innocent men and women destroyed by malicious rumours, Arthur Miller’s classic Tony Award-Winning parable The Crucible is a powerful and timely look at what can happen to a society when fear and paranoia take over. One of the most popular plays ever written, this text remains a cornerstone of American literature and calls for an urgent reflection on justice, integrity, and the collective conscience.
