The National Theatre production will run at the Gielgud Theatre for a limited season from 7 June until 2 September. Tickets are on sale now here.
Casting for the West End run is to be announced.
A witch hunt is beginning in Salem. Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women suddenly find their words have a terrible power. As a climate of fear spreads through the community, private vendettas fuel public accusations and soon the truth itself is on trial.
