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.
Lyndsey Turner (Hamlet) directs this contemporary new staging, designed by Tony Award-winner Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy). Captured live from the Olivier stage at the National Theatre.

One of the best productions I’ve seen. The stage design was insane, but I mean any design by Es is.
A wonder of a designer
Interesting hearing the accents they chose, when Americans do it they usually go slightly English cuz we were still a colony then. Can’t wait to see it, great story
Just came back from the cinema. This was an EXCELLENT production on all counts.
Same here!
Same, brimming with profound commentary on hysteria as well as some deeply personal stories
hey, i remember seeing this in person! great stuff. the set up of the stage was absolutely incredible!! i hope there's a few shots of how the water looked. and the choreography of the girls having their fit in the courthouse...
CHILLS . LITERAL CHILLS !!!
Yesss!
Saw this last month, incredible show!
Glad you loved it!
Please have a screening of this in Toronto!!
Really good! I love this play and wish to see it
Just saw this last night, it was amazingly profound 👏 as relevant to the politics when it was written as it is now unfortunately as I commented to my Dad on the night
Then as now, the people who should see this, will never see it....
I neeeeeed the music to be released
Partita: IV. Passacaglia by Caroline Shaw
Does anybody know the name of the background music? Sounds like a Bulgarian choir.
It's the ensemble from The Crucible.
@@NationalTheatre awesome! I hope there’s an album release soon.
It sounds like rendition of this piece “partita for 8 voices”
@@NationalTheatre The opening scene of all the girls seated, backs to the audience, is shape note music (traditionally sung in a “hollow square,” not seated theatre style). Was so surprised that I didn’t catch which song it was.
@@Joser7590 Specifically its 4th movement, "Passacaglia".
does anyone know the song playing in the background
Daniel day Lewis has really let himself go
So that's the accent that Cowell is going with? I guess it is a choice.
Maybe less a choice than just "Bad American Accent."
why is proctor the only dude that can act in this play??????
It seems strange to make a production which pretends that Salem was racially diverse in the modern sense. It ignores the subtext behind the mistreatment of Tituba versus the other girls/women
Yeaahhhhh.....that's kinda how things go these days.....nonsenical, but for "the cause".......WELCOME *scorpion from mortal Kombat*
They’re not pretending anything, it’s a play, a fantasy. Have you ever attended to the theater before?
@@t.miranda176 bruv, you know what they're doing, don't be daft. Some of those people actually existed....and were not anything other than European AF.
Come on, son.....you ain't stupid. Lol what would one call it? The hamiltization of things?
It gives no more to an already horrific story. If you want to tear down the barriers, then they all must be torn down regardless of race. This only flows one way.
@t.miranda176 no need to be sarcastic, it's a fair point that the treatment of Tituba as someone who is 'different' could be lost with a more diverse cast. I'd say they tackled that well though because Tituba played with a Caribbean accent whereas the whole rest of the cast were clearly American. So I don't agree with the comment but I think it's better to set that out in a measured way and not with stupid sarcastic jibes
Just to be clear when I say they were American I mean they were clearly playing Americans by the way lol!
I have to say the actors put on historically inaccurate accents for this. They use modern American accents when in reality, the accent was radically different back in 1692.
The costumes are also a bit off-putting. It's hard to tell if this is meant to be Salem in the modern day or just really poor costume design. I felt the same way with both the accents and costumes for the Old Vic version with Richard Armitage but the characters in it were at least acted really well, whereas in this version, mainly John Proctor is simply not what I expected from a strong, stubborn and somewhat quick to anger farmer. In this version he is portrayed as being too soft-spoken, even for his primary monologue near the end of the trailer. There isn't as much anger in it as expected from most versions.
I know I haven't seen it yet and I will see it in cinemas when it releases, but I do not have my hopes up for it, especially for a National Theatre production.
So now that I have seen the play in the cinema, I have to say, my opinion has shifted somewhat as I was still able to enjoy the play what with the bad costume design and accents still being there, but were saved by the great acting and powerful soundtrack. I have to say it is visually great, but I still don't understand the issue with keeping the costumes and the accents to the time period as there is plenty of accessible references for the costume and the accents somewhat but still I have some more issues with the play.
One issue that I do not want to be taken the wrong way is having black actors play parts that only make sense for white actors, (namely Reverend Hale and Mary Warren), but the reason for this is that it simply does not make sense with the subtext of the play as Tituba is the only black character in the play and this also makes her stand out considering that she is abused partly because of this and so seeing this happen with black actors in the same set is a bit jarring. I believe that it makes no sense to have black actors and actresses play white roles considering the fact that I have never seen a play with a white actor playing a black role.
The actors are open to their interpretation, but your other criticisms are valid. I have to say though, why are you going to see this with the expectations of disliking it...?
What kind of person does that? You should be going into the theatre with an open mind.
@@TheCoastermann I understand the actors are open to their own interpretations but when you analyse the play, you realise that those attributes are central to the character so it seems odd when they are stripped of some of said attributes.
To touch on your last point, I'm going to see it because not only do I love the play in general, it is something that is being done at my school for the exams so indeed it may have some usefulness for characterisation and what not.
Why does everything now have to have a 50% black cast?
