Sophie Okonedo, Ben Whishaw, Saoirse Ronan & More Begin Performances in The Crucible

A starry revival of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible begins performances on March 1. Directed by Ivo van Hove, whose work was last seen on Broadway in Miller's A View From the Bridge, The Crucible officially opens on March 31 at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

The cast will also include Olivier nominee Ben Whishaw, Tony winner Sophie Okonedo, Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan, Ciaran Hinds, Bill Camp, Jason Butler Harner, Tavi Gevinson and Tony winner Jim Norton.

Set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, The Crucible is a timeless parable of morality, a scorching indictment of intolerance, and is a central work in the canon of American drama.

This revival marks the third time Miller’s Tony Award-winning play graces the Main Stem stage.
