The king of the dwarves Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) moves his audience this summer as farmer John Proctor in the American Drama ‘The Crucible’, directed by Yaël Farber.
It turns dark in the great auditorium of the Old Vic where mysterious and faint sounds hum in the distance. Slowly, the first cast member emerges carrying a bowl with blowing smoke in her hands, singing foreign melodies. The air fills with the burning mists and silently the whole cast appears on stage. The music becomes louder and a dance of light and sound lulls the audience in. Very clever and somehow intimate and artistic, the cast prepares for the first scene. The drama begins, strong and intense and stays so throughout the play.
Yes, the first half is two hours long – when I heard that I sighed quietly, wondering about a necessary toilet break before. But two hours pass incredibly quickly. The scenes are long, packed with dialogue and filled with intense emotion. This play truly deserves the classification of drama.
Male lead, Richard Armitage, engages the audience with his performance. His dynamic and deep voice echoes in every corner of the theatre, his desperate attempts to save his wife and intimate moments with her come across true and honest. However, I missed stronger body language as his posture and movements were, from time to time, weak.
he female lead Samantha Colley performs in a raw, playful way and it’s unbelievable that this is her first acting job. Her character interpretation is strong and wicked, leaving a mark on the audience. She truly puts her greatest effort into the role and succeeds.
My personal favourite, however, was Jack Ellis playing the role of the Deputy Governor Danforth. He impersonated the authority, superiority and stubbornness of his role with his full body, voice and hearty emotions.
The play asks interesting and complex questions and shows the audience the many facets of human behaviour, of beliefs, politics, strengths, doubts, and life’s bittersweet quality. A must see.

Toll fände ich einen Part in The Hollow Crown. Habe mir gerade die erste Staffel gekauft und bisher nur Richard II gesehen, bin aber sehr beeindruckt!
