A witch hunt is beginning in Salem - Arthur Miller’s gripping parable of power and its abuse.

Lyndsey Turner (Hamlet) directs this contemporary new staging, designed by Tony Award winner Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy) with Erin Doherty (The Crown) as Abigail Williams and Australian actor and playwright Brendan Cowell as John Proctor.
