SIFF year-round passes and vouchers are not valid for this event.

Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial.

Lyndsey Turner (“Hamlet”) directs this contemporary new staging, designed by Tony Award-winner Es Devlin (“The Lehman Trilogy”). Captured live from the Olivier stage at the National Theatre.
