If you missed it at the West End, there is another chance to catch the Old Vic’s acclaimed staging of The Crucible.
BBC Spooks star Richard Armitage takes the lead in Arthur Miller’s classic American drama, based on Salem’s infamous witch trials, which will be screened next month at Leatherhead Theatre.
In a small, tight-knit community in Salem, Massachusetts, personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria.
Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.
Armitage’s film and television credits include The Hobbit trilogy, Into the Storm, Captain America: The First Avenger, and North and South.
His theatre appearances include The Duchess of Malfi and Macbeth for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Miller is considered to be one of America’s greatest playwrights. His many plays include All My Sons, Death of a Salesman and A View from the Bridge.
This play was brought vividly to life at the Old Vic by director Yaël Farber.
The Old Vic’s The Crucible; Leatherhead Theatre, Church Street, Leatherhead; Thursday, December 4 at 7pm, and Saturday, December 6 at 2pm; from £16; call 01372 365141; visit www.leatherheadtheatre.org
