A witch hunt is beginning in Arthur Miller's captivating parable of power with Erin Doherty (The Crown) and Brendan Cowell (Yerma). Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial. Lindsey Turner (Hamlet) directs this contemporary new staging, design by Tony award winner Es Devlin. Captured live from the Olivier stage of the national theater.

First time ever seeing the play and I’m so sorry I was bored! The staging and certain moments were electric but wow is it a lot of tell over show.
Also - just an infuriating series of events!! I understand that’s the point but I was angry the whole time.
