In August / September 2018, Identity Theatre will present Arthur Miller's blistering and influential play THE CRUCIBLE

 

Written in the early 1950s, "The Crucible" takes place in
Salem, Massachusetts during the 1692 Witch Trials.
This was a time when paranoia, hysteria, and deceit

gripped the Puritan towns of New England.

 

Miller captures the events in a gripping story that is now considered a modern classic. He wrote it during the "Red Scare" and used the witch trials as a metaphor for the 'witch hunts' of communists in America.

 

With the current political situation of "fake news", confusion of ideals and the global rise of nationalism, there has never been a better time to revisit this incredible piece of theatre.

In Summer 2017, we presented a highly successful run of Dennis Potter's

"Blue Remembered Hills" at the Brighton Open Air Theatre
