The Crucible by Arthur Miller

Cygnet Theatre · Exeter

This Halloween, Shake on the Exe presents Arthur Miller’s — a chilling story of fear, suspicion, and mass hysteria. Set in the shadow of the Salem witch trials, our production remains rooted in its traditional world while drawing unsettling parallels to the society we live in today. As accusations spread and neighbours turn on one another, truth becomes dangerous and panic takes control. Dark, atmospheric, and disturbingly relevant, this haunting new production asks: when fear rules a community, who survives? Join us this Halloween season for an unforgettable night of tension, paranoia, and powerful theatre.

Story Fix Exeter

Cygnet Theatre · Exeter

This is the opening Night of the Exeter Story Fix (www.artemis-storytelling.co.uk/storyfix): Amy Douglas will be sharing a powerful wondertale that she heard long ago from her mentor, the legendary Scots Traveller-Storyteller Duncan Williamson. The health of the kingdom is bound up with the health of the King. But what makes a good King? What makes a strong King? Crowns weigh heavy and taking power does not guarantee living happily ever after. An ancient tale that feels fresh, needed and relevant in today's troubled times. Award-winning author and storyteller, Amy Douglas has been integral within the modern British storytelling landscape as performer, promoter, mentor and advocate for the past three decades. "one of the leading lights of the contemporary storytelling scene" "warm and engaging" "a magical woman - sit, listen and wonder" "down-to-earth warmth and humour" In the first half, we'll be hearing stories from three Devon-based performance storytellers: Micha Colombo, Henry Everett and Rebecca Bletcher. Expect strong words, mythic resonance and a warm welcome from your host, Katy Cawkwell, current Bard of Exeter.
