The Crucible

9 - 12 October 2025

Standard tickets on sale 10am Tuesday 28 January 2025

Presented by Hunter Drama

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a chilling and intense journey into the heart of mass hysteria and paranoia. In the heat of the Salem witch trials, a tight-knit community is consumed by fear, where whispers of witchcraft turn neighbours into enemies and lies into deadly weapons. As accusations spiral out of control, no one is safe from the madness—innocence is sacrificed, and justice becomes twisted by fear and vengeance.

This haunting masterpiece is a razor-sharp exploration of power, manipulation, and the devastating impact of fear on a society, as relevant today as ever.

Recommended for ages 12+

Running time 180 minutes plus interval. Running times are approximate and subject to change without notice.
