Lyndsey Turner’s revival is one of the most eagerly awaited productions of the year and that’s no surprise. The Crucible was based on the real-life events that took place in Salem Massachusetts in 1692 when accusations of witchcraft spread around the community. The authorities stepped in, leading to an investigation that resulted in the hangings of 19 people. Arthur Miller’s 1953 drama The Crucible was inspired by the Salem witch-hunts but was intended as an allegory that pointed the finger at the reds under the bed witch-hunts that gripped mid 20th century America. But as Turner’s revival is likely to demonstrate there is no time when The Crucible isn’t relevant. As Miller himself said of the play, it serves “as either a warning of tyranny on the way or a reminder of tyranny just past.”
