A witch hunt is beginning in Arthur Miller’s captivating parable of power with Erin Doherty (The Crown) and Brendan Cowell (Yerma). Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial.

Lyndsey Turner (Hamlet) directs this contemporary new staging, designed by Tony Award-winning Es Devin (The Lehman Trilogy). Captured live from the Olivier stage at the National Theatre.

KEY CAST: Erin Doherty as Abigail Williams, Brendan Cowell as John Proctor, Nick Fletcher as Reverend Parris, Fisayo Akinade as Reverend Hale, Rachelle Diedericks as Mary Warren, and Eileen Walsh as Elizabeth Proctor.
