The cast for the much-anticipated West End transfer of The Crucible has been announced before previews beginning at the Gielgud Theatre on June 7th, with an opening night scheduled for June 15th, and performances running until June 2nd.
The plot of The Crucible is set during the Salem witch trials of the 17th century and focuses on a small-town community where constant accusations of deceitful behaviour and witchcraft transform the town's dynamics as hysteria builds up, and a climate of fear and suspicion spreads.
Brian Gleeson will play the role of John Proctor. He is joined by Caitlin FitzGerald as Elizabeth Proctor, Matthew Marsh as Danforth, Milly Alcock as Abigail Williams, Fisayo Akinade as Reverend Hale, and Ron Cook as Giles Corey.
The remainder of the cast will feature Tilly Tremayne, David Ahmad, Amy Snudden, Zoë Aldrich, Alastair Parker, Stephanie Beattie, Christopher Birch, Ebony Jonelle, Chyna-Rose Frederick, Lucy Brindle, Nadine Higgin, Raphael Bushay, Nick Fletcher, Grace Farrell, Colin Haigh, Miya James, Henry Everett, Gracie McGonigal, Tama Phethean, Joy Tan, Nia Towle, and Samuel Townsend.
The Crucible will be directed by Lyndsey Turner, with design by Es Devlin, lighting design by Tim Lutkin, costume design by Catherine Fay, and sound design by Christopher Shutt (system design), Tingying Dong (content design).[image of info] Your Personal Information is 100% secured with us.

Booking & Theatre Information For The Crucible
The Gielgud Theatre is a medium size West End theatre that has three levels of seating with a capacity of 974 seats.
Premium seats in the theatre are located towards the middle of the Stalls section, just below the overhang from the Dress Circle. Patrons sitting up close to the front of the Stalls may miss some of the action at the rear of the stage, due to the height of the stage so aim to sit in rows N-P for the best overall experience.
The Gielgud Theatre also has three boxes at the rear of the Dress Circle enabling you to watch the production with added privacy, all of which boast a dedicated private entrance and quick access to the toilets and the bar in the interval.
The elevated sections of the theatre offer good value for those on a budget looking for lastminute shows or cheap tickets to The Crucible however, due to the shape of the Dress Circle, a number of these seats have a slightly restricted view of the stage, in particular towards the end of rows A and B which face the stage at an angle. There is also good value to be found in the Grand Circle but as always it is recommended to study the seating plan in detail before purchase as there are also some restrictions in this section due to the curve in the seating.
