Succession's Caitlin Fitzgerald boards HOTD star's new project
Succession's Caitlin Fitzgerald and Peaky Blinders actor Brian Gleeson are the latest casting additions to Gielgud Theatre's upcoming run of The Crucible.
Directed by Lyndsey Turner. Arthur Miller's spellbinding power-abuse parable is scheduled to commence on June 7, before wrapping up on September 2.
It was announced back in March that Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) would take on the lead role of Abigail Williams in the acclaimed play.
At the time, she shared in a statement: "To say it's a dream come true to work on such an iconic play with such a distinguished theatre company is an understatement. I am beyond thrilled."

As for The Crucible's storyline, here's a synopsis to check out: "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."
Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray. House of the Dragon airs on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
