REVIEWS

Danu Poyner "THE CRUCIBLE"
"David Wenham's performance as John Proctor, the guilt-ridden eye of the storm, is comparatively understated. He is the play's moral centre, which he wears heavily, and has the best lines, which he delivers with well-timed pathos and the occasional comic flourish where appropriate."

28 June, 2013, artshub.com
Deborah Stone "THE CRUCIBLE"
"A colleague suggested the production overly reverential. To me the restraint only allowed the text to speak as it should. This is no vehicle for performers but a genuine dramatisation of a powerful work which reinforces its place in the cannon."

28 June, 2013, Herald Sun
Kate Herbert "THE CRUCIBLE"
"Wenham is a potent stage presence as Proctor, the hero with a fatal flaw, portraying this rustic, ordinary man with initial restraint that turns to passionate action and tirades against injustice and irrationality."

28 June, 2013, The Age
Cameron Woodhead "THE CRUCIBLE"
"David Wenham's John Proctor is the big drawcard and he delivers – earthy and taciturn and tormented by guilt, he strides across the part, particularly memorable in scenes opposite Anita Hegh."

"THE CRUCIBLE"
"A great many people will be drawn to see The Crucible simply to catch a glimpse of David Wenham on stage as the main protagonist John Proctor, and his performance is well worth admission price alone."
