Pay What You Can Matinee: Saturday 29th November, 2.00pm
The High Tor Players return to the stage this November with Arthur Miller’s timeless classic The Crucible, performed at the Imperial Rooms, Matlock, from Wednesday 26th to Saturday 29th November at 7.30pm each evening.
Founded in 1937, the High Tor Players are a long-established Matlock-based theatre group known for their high-quality, community-centred productions. Following recent sell-out successes with Pride and Prejudice and Much Ado About Nothing, the group now turns its attention to one of the greatest American dramas of the 20th century.
Set in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, The Crucible is a powerful and haunting exploration of fear, hysteria, and the consequences of false accusation. As paranoia grips a small community, suspicion becomes a weapon and integrity is tested to its limits. Decades after it was written, Miller’s play remains as relevant and gripping as ever — a mirror to the dangers of mass hysteria and moral panic in any age.
As part of their commitment to making theatre accessible for everyone, the High Tor Players will also host a Pay What You Can Matinee on Saturday 29th November at 2pm. There is no fixed ticket price — and no expectation to pay anything at all. Audiences are welcome to contribute whatever they feel able, or simply come and enjoy an afternoon of live theatre in a welcoming and inclusive setting.
Tickets for evening performances are available via www.hightorplayers.co.uk or ticket source.
