The Crucible, Arthur Miller's witch-hunt classic, arrives at Manchester Opera House from May 8 to 13.

Charlie Condou, best known for playing Marcus Dent in Coronation Street, takes on the role of witch-hunter Reverend Hale with Victoria Yeates, from BBC period drama Call The Midwife, as Elizabeth Proctor. They will be joined by Eoin Slattery as John Proctor and Lucy Keirl as Abigail Williams.

This new production of one of the 20th century's finest plays is directed by the Queen's Theatre artistic director Douglas Rintoul. Rintoul’s Brechtian take on the production draws parallels with Trump’s America and post-Brexit UK.
