Just listening to. Aaron Sorkin interview the cast of “The Crucible”. Love me some Saoirse Ronan
Original tape date: March 25, 2016. | First aired: May 14, 2016.
We focus on the new Broadway production of "Arthur Miller's The Crucible" (nominated for a Best Revival of a Play TONY Award). Our guests are TONY-nominated director Ivo van Hove with actors Sophie Okonedo (nominated as Best Actress in a Play for her performance as Elizabeth Proctor) and Ben Whishaw who plays her husband, the man whose adulterous affair with a teenager sets the gruesome events of the play in motion. Van Hove and his cast members discuss the director's unique take on this classic American drama and how they worked together to give Arthur Miller's tale of the mass hysteria and brutal injustice during the Salem witch trials, renewed life on Broadway.

“I think some of what Ivo has done is just pare away some of the trappings of theatre from the 1950’s so that we can get to the sort of human drama underneath that.” - Ben Whishaw
