After a momentous 12 week run, the last performance of The Crucible was held at The Old Vic on Saturday 13 September to a packed house and with a long standing ovation from the audience. Richard marked the occasion by tweeting the following: “Good night and thank you for all your support @oldvictheatre #TheCrucible”. The video in that tweet is disabled, so he posted again with a working video from @AnglophileTV: “My thanks to @oldvictheatre @yfarber #TheCrucible @DigitalTheatre @AnglophileTV A summer to remember”.
The footage in the video took place on Tuesday 9 September, the last performance that director Yaël Farber attended.

Richard Hammarton, who composed the music for The Crucible, shared another of the tracks from the production on Soundcloud. ‘Ash’ was mentioned in the news below on 15th August, and now the opening sequence of music has been added, simply called ‘The Crucible’. Click the link to listen. He is hoping to make the entire soundtrack available for download and does not intend to sell it – stated on this tweet.

The composer of the music for The Crucible, Richard Hammarton, shared one of the tracks from the production on Soundcloud. The title ‘Ash’ played at the start of the third act when black ash was falling on to the stage. The music will give you an impression of the atmosphere of the production for those who were not able to see it, and remind others of the ominous and eerie tone that the music evoked. Those violin notes were repeated often throughout the play.

Director Yael Farber was interviewed by Front Row on BBC Radio 4 and Free Thinking on BBC Radio 3. The clips are still available to listen if you follow the links, but may be removed eventually. The interviews included three extracts from the play, although it doesn’t sound like they were recorded on stage, but perhaps in a studio. They feature Richard Armitage as John Proctor and Anna Madeley, who plays John Proctor’s wife Elizabeth. I have extracted the three clips and uploaded them to the Sounds page, where you can listen or download.

The Old Vic published a video of Richard talking about the role of Proctor and feeling like he has been preparing for this role for a long time.
