Classic play The Crucible comes to Altrincham Garrick

Written as a response to McCarthyism in 1950s America, it remains sharply relevant today.

Arthur Miller's classic play The Crucible is coming to the Altrincham Garrick next month.

The play follows the Salem witch trials of 1692, where an innocent game leads to a mysterious illness - and a community consumed by accusation, fear and hysteria. As suspicion spreads and loyalties collapse, characters face impossible choices between truth and survival.

Written as a response to McCarthyism in 1950s America, The Crucible remains sharply relevant today.

It's one of Miller's most celebrated works and features on the secondary school recommended reading list, making it a strong choice for local school groups.

Post-show Q&A sessions are available for schools - contact the box office on 0161 928 1677 for details.

Directed by Joseph Meighan, The Crucible will be staged from May 7th to 17th.
