'It's a bold statement, but this is the best that I have ever seen of an Arthur Miller play live […] Such stunning direction from Fay Lomas, making something now so traditional like The Crucible into a piece so captivating for the modern audience. It had a large school group enthralled, and silent at the performance I saw, and I am frankly not surprised. If you missed it, you missed an incredible treat’. A Small Mind at the Theatre
'The Crucible might have been set around 17th Century witchcraft trials in Salem but its echoes ring loud and clear in our own world in this superb production [of] endless variety [filled with] passion, vigour, daring and intensity.’ Behind The Arras.
