Story Line:
Richard Armitage stars in Arthur Miller’s classic American drama, based on
Salem’s infamous witch trials, brought vividly to life in this visceral new
production by internationally acclaimed director Yaël Farber.

In a small tight-knit community in Salem, Massachusetts, personal grievances
collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Miller’s timeless
parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of
false accusations.

Richard Armitage’s film and TV credits include The Hobbit trilogy, Into the
Storm, Captain America: The First Avenger and Spooks. Theatre includes The
Duchess of Malfi and Macbeth for RSC.

Yaël Farber is a multiple award-winning director and playwright. Her
production of Mies Julie won a string of international awards at the 2012
Edinburgh Festival, was named one of the Top Ten Productions of 2012 by

Arthur Miller is one of America’s greatest playwrights. His many plays include
All My Sons, Death of a Salesman and A View from the Bridge.
