The Crucible

Join Helston Theatre Company for their retelling of Arthur Miller’s iconic play.

Consumed by paranoia, superstition and a ruthless sense of justice, a climate of fear and mass hysteria sweeps through the town of Salem, Massachusetts when rumors grow that a group of girls are practicing witchcraft. What lies are the townspeople prepared to tell themselves in order to survive?

Written by award-winning American playwright Arthur Miller, this seminal political history play about Salem in 1692 (and McCarthy’s 1950s America) is a timeless warning to us all. It’s a visceral, gripping adventure into a desperate, dangerous world where everyone is implicated, and nobody is safe!

This intense drama promises to be a theatrical highlight of 2026, showcasing the dramatic talents of our company in one of the greatest plays of the 20th century.
