Salford. 1880. A father and daughter go head-to-head in this classic comedy.
Widower Henry Hobson is struggling to handle his three grown-up daughters, each seeking a husband and an escape from the family boot-makers’ shop. But with the domineering Hobson spending more time boozing in the Moonraker’s Arms than on the business, the future of the firm and the family is in the hands of eldest daughter, the no-nonsense Maggie.
When she sets her sights on the talented boot-maker Willie Mossop, it’s the start of an unlikely partnership that threatens to ruin Hobson’s trade. Reluctantly, he’s forced to make a choice.

By Arthur Miller

“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.
