The Crucible, Turandot and Empire of Light at South Mill Arts in Bishop's Stortford in March

The London stage comes to Bishop's Stortford with screenings of National Theatre and Royal Opera House shows at South Mill Arts.

The National Theatre Live screening of Arthur Miller's play The Crucible is on at the South Road venue on Wednesday March 1.

And Turandot, Puccini's final opera, can be enjoyed on Tuesday March 28.

Lyndsey Turner (Hamlet) directs a contemporary new staging of The Crucible, designed by Tony Award-winner Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy). The performance was captured live from the Olivier stage at the National Theatre.

A witch hunt is beginning and, raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women in Salem suddenly find their words have an almighty power. As a climate of fear, vendetta and accusation spreads through the community, no one is safe from trial.

Puccini's Turandot is a glorious pageant of rich colour, dance and drama in Andrei Serban's classic staging.

The score is rich in musical marvels - featuring the famous aria Nessun dorma - while the production draws on Chinese theatrical traditions to evoke a colourful fantasy tableau of ancient Peking.

South Mill Arts is also showing Empire of Light, the Sam Mendes-directed film about the duty manager of a seaside cinema struggling with her mental health starring Olivia Colman, on Thursday March 30.
