The Crucible

Swindon Arts Centre hosts a new take on the literary classic

  

Swindon Art Centre, Swindon

Thursday 28 July - 30 July 2016, 7.30pm

 

In a quaint and close rural community, personal histories combine with lust and superstition, creating widespread hysteria and persecution.

 

Miller’s timeless classic attacks the terrorising power of false accusations and consequences of damning mindless gossip. The power of one teenage girl’s claims and control over her peers have devastating and long lasting consequences on an entire town.

 

Currently in production on Broadway, The Crucible and it’s historical tale of false accusation and mania are as relevant today as ever. After the overwhelmingly successful and acclaimed productions - Wroughton Passion Play, Jerusalem and Breathing Corpses, Gatecrash Theatre bring together a professional production team and a taste for gritty, truthful storytelling to give this literary classic a new and terrifying breath of life.

 

Tickets: £13.00, Concessions £11.00
