A STUNNING interpretation of a popular play will be screened in Cardigan later this month.

Mwldan on Bath House Road, Cardigan, will be screening a broadcast of The Crucible on Thursday, January 26.

The Crucible is performed by the National Theatre and was filmed live on the theatre’s Olivier stage.

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller which follows the start of a witch hunt in Salem as a group of young women find their words have an almighty power – despite being raised to be seen but not heard.

No one, however, is safe from trial as fear, vendetta and accusations spread through the community of Salem in 1692-93. The play was written by Mr Miller in 1953 and is dramatized but also partially based on the real-life events in Salem.
