THE CRUCIBLE

Rugby Theatre, Sat 11th  - Sat 18th April, 2026

An innovative new production of Arthur Miller's classic play, The Crucible, is coming to Rugby Theatre this April.

'The Crucible’.Based on the true events of the Salem witch trials of 1692, this classic Arthur Miller play serves as an allegory that is as relevant today as it was back in 1953 when Miller wrote it - his response to refusing to name names, whilst being investigated for alleged communist ties, during the period of McCarthyism in the USA.

​

Brought to the Rugby Theatre stage, this new, contemporary youth-theatre adaptation seeks to expose the dangers of mass hysteria, unfounded accusations and political repression.

​

Show dates: 11 - 18 April @ 7.30 pm (no show on Sunday 12th)​
