Arthur Miller's The Crucible presented by Hunter Drama

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a haunting and timeless modern classic that still resonates as powerfully today as when it was first staged in 1953. Set in the Puritan town of Salem in 1692, the play explores the infamous witch trials where fear, suspicion, and lies spiral out of control, tearing apart a close-knit community. What begins with whispers of witchcraft quickly becomes a ruthless test of morality, loyalty, and truth, with devastating consequences for all.


Hunter Drama’s senior production brings Miller’s gripping tale to the Civic Playhouse from October 9–12. With its themes of power, integrity, and mass hysteria, The Crucible is not only a thrilling piece of theatre but also a key HSC English text—making it an unmissable opportunity for Year 12 students to see the work come to life on stage just before their exams.



Following two consecutive sell-out productions, Hunter Drama invites audiences to experience the chilling power of The Crucible. Secure your tickets early.
