“The Crucible“, Arthur Miller’s gripping theatrical political allegory, is part of the National Theatre Live (NTL) satellite series, which has been seen by over 11.5 million viewers around the world since 2009.

Lyndsey Turner (Hamlet) directs the new contemporary production of the American author’s masterpiece, with sets by Tony Award-winning Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy), starring Erin Doherty (The Crown) and Brendan Cowell (Yerma). “The Crucible” is based on actual events that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, which resulted in the execution by hanging of twenty innocent people.

The performance is broadcast on film from the Olivier Stage of the National Theatre of London, with Greek subtitles (edited by Despina Papagiannopoulou), in Alexandra Trianti Hall.

In “The Crucible”, a group of young women in Salem, where they have grown up without the right to speak, suddenly discover that their words have incredible power. Vendettas and accusations follow one another, and fear spreads through the community as anyone can now find themselves in the dock.
