Theatre: The Crucible
Overview
Join a friendly group of Spicers to watch the latest production at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse - your host will meet you in the bar which is downstairs, from 7pm.
Tonight we see THE CRUCIBLE a gripping drama by Arthur Miller about hysteria, fear and the Salem witch trials
“We are what we always were…”
Betty Parris lies in a trance after a childish game spins out of control, and accusations of witchcraft are quickly manipulated by those with something to gain. However, when false allegations reach fever pitch, the devout community of Salem, Massachusetts descends into a cauldron of hysteria, manipulation and paranoia it can never return from…
What lies are the townspeople prepared to tell themselves in order to survive?
Speak of the devil and he appears. Nobody is safe. Written in the 1950s when the insidious fear of communism gripped America, “The Crucible” is a devastating portrayal of the human cost of tyranny and vengeance, and a timeless warning to us all.
An intense and revolutionary piece by Arthur Miller (Death of A Salesman, A View From The Bridge, All My Sons) - inspired by the 1692 Witch Trials in Salem.

By Public Transport: The Garrick is about 800m (a 10-minute stroll) from each of the following stations, served by both Northern trains and Manchester Metrolink trams: Altrincham Interchange and Navigation Road.
The Garrick is situated on Barrington Road, a major bus route and there are bus stops on both sides of the road very close to the theatre.
Parking at the Garrick: There is a reasonably-sized car park, which offers free parking including spaces reserved for disabled parking. The car park can quickly become full for the most popular performances – filling up sometimes half an hour before a show begins.
Alternatively, there are numerous opportunities for parking on residential side streets within a couple of minutes’ walking distance. Parking there can also sometimes be limited and again you are advised to come as early as possible if you want to park particularly close to the theatre.
Please park considerately, avoiding blocking any access for local residents – thank you.
The bar is normally open at least 45 minutes before each performance, so their advice is: arrive early, park early, and relax in the cosy bar before the show!
