The production will run at the theatre from the 8th May until the 12th July.
The Shakespeare’s Globe has announced casting for its upcoming production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, directed by Ola Ince.
Marking the first modern classic play to be staged at the theatre, this revival of the play is set to star: Sarah Belcher as Ann Putnam / Sarah Good, Sarah Cullum as Martha Corey / Ruth Putnam / Cover, Gavin Drea as John Proctor, Joshua Dunn as Cheever, Steve Furst as Reverend Parris, James Groom as Willard / Cover, Joanne Howarth as Rebecca Nurse, Molly Madigan as Mercy Lewis / Cover, Aisha-Mae McCormick as Susanna Walcott / Cover, Stuart McQuarrie as Thomas Putnam / Judge Hathorne, Sarah Merrifield as Tituba, Scarlett Nunes as Betty Parris, Glyn Pritchard as Francis Nurse, Phoebe Pryce as Elizabeth Proctor, Hannah Saxby as Abigail Williams, Gareth Snook as Deputy Governor Danforth, Jo Stone-Fewings asReverend Hale, Howard Ward as Giles Corey, and Bethany Wooding as Mary Warren.
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 rumours grow that a group of girls are practising witchcraft.
What lies are the townspeople prepared to tell themselves in order to survive?
Director Ola Ince says: “I’m very excited to share Arthur Miller’s historic epic in the unique immersive space of the Globe Theatre. Combining The Crucible’s big ideas about power, freedom, and gender with the strength of this phenomenal cast is absolutely thrilling!”
The show will feature music by Renell Shaw, designs by Amelia Jane Hankin, fight direction by Kevin McCurdy, intimacy direction by Raniah Al-Sayed and movement direction by Ebony Molina.
