- 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.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.

I loved this production. I was in the "nose bleeds" but it didn't matter a jot. I was fully engaged from first moment to the last.
I have to disagree with Ivo on his notion of Abigail having not been corrupted until her and Proctor's affair. She admits to seeing her parents slain in bed by Natives one night, and whether you think she was lying about that or not, the fact remains that her parents have been taken from her in some way, and that's how she landed with her uncle in the first place. Abigail wasn't unacquainted with loss. Maybe her heartbreak with John severely worsened her negative outlook on the world, but personally I feel like she's been a nasty human for a very long time. Otherwise she wouldn't have had the cunning to create such a complex and outrageous situation in Salem.
that one lady was so good in an old show of the detective tennison with mirren.
ben is brilliant!
I'm going to see this play soon. I've heard it is like the horror movie version of the play with supernatural elements added.
I'm playing Abigail Williams right now, and since I've really been dissecting her character, she's not as bad as everyone makes her out to be. She's still made horrible mistakes, but she's really not that bad. At least my interpretation and portrayal of her isn't that bad.
She is a lying, covert narcissist who gets a man killed because she can’t take accountability for her own actions.
Ivo completely sidesteps Susan's (very legitimate and timely) question
does anyone else think it weired that the director also directed some of lazarus which stared Sophia Anne Carouso and also directed the crubible which stared Elizabith Teeter and then they would both go on to be in the same musica as the same part

The comments on the costuming of this show @14:26 about the actors being in "school uniforms" and the uniforms making them "sexy" is disgusting. Stomach churning, disgusting. If you look at the costuming of this show the girls wear long shirts, vests, skirts and long socks. Normal, average clothes, not inherently sexy in any way. But both these men just implied and admitted the only reason they're sexy is because the uniforms imply they're of school age, ie. CHILDREN.
This director and hosts just openly and actively had a discussion about how they're sexualising children in school uniforms? Sorry, what the hell? It's not normal to find CHILDREN in UNIFORMS sexy. These MEN are talking like predators. I'm so disgusted, I'm furious.
Deeply obnoxious hosts, yucking it up in the presence of real artists.
The lady wasn't that bad, but the man was too loud. I guess he was trying to break the ice. The actors are more reserved.
Always the stupid American argument about how 'we don't speak like that anymore'. Note that the Broadway critic is not referring to the idiom spoken by the Puritans of Salem, either the real one or the one watered down by Miller. He is referring to Miller's writing as a whole! As if language was not part of the fiction, the scaffolding of the scenic world. Not everything happens down the street. Not to mention the poetry of drama, of course. That would be too much for a Broadway critic to grasp.
i dont get her, even lady bird is dull to me
