“Ivo van Hove is directing The Crucible, and rehearses in quite an unusual way. We started rehearsals last week and dived straight into the first act, like, five minutes after we all turned up. No warm-ups. We were very intensely immersed in that whole world on day one. It was quite surreal because I've never done any theater before.” WorldWayFirstsDoneWholeLastsFiveWeekMinutesTheaterWarmWhole WorldUnusualFive MinutesVansRehearsalSurrealCrucible Author:Saoirse Ronan
