Initial casting for Arthur Miller’s The Crucible at the Old Vic has been confirmed.
Richard Armitage, Anna Madeley and Samantha Colley will star as John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams in Yaёl Farber’s new production which begins previews on Tuesday 24th June and runs until Saturday 13th September 2014.
The cast also includes Sarah Niles, Rebecca Saire and Zara White. Further casting to be announced.
Yaёl Farber directs a visceral re-imagining of Arthur Miller’s modern American masterpiece about the Salem witch trials drawing parallels with his experience of McCarthy’s anti- communist investigations in the 1950’s.
The Crucible tells the story of one man’s fight to save his identity in a repressive Puritan community where intolerance collides with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria with tragic results.
The Crucible is the second play in a new season of productions which are presented in-the- round at The Old Vic. Reprising the transformation of The Old Vic’s auditorium into the round which was first seen for the award-winning 2008 production of The Norman Conquests.
