A Cabaret at the End of the World

Cygnet Theatre · Exeter

The Apocolypse has come and gone. Two actors have holed up in and old theatre with the aim of keeping showbiz alive despite the end of days. However, the only bums on seats belong to the cockroaches. And… what’s that – a knock on the stage door? Who is out there? Friend or critic? Can the two old thespians put on a production to impress their visitor? Or will it be their final curtain call?

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

Cygnet Theatre · Exeter

This Halloween, Shake on the Exe presents Arthur Miller’s — a chilling story of fear, suspicion, and mass hysteria. Set in the shadow of the Salem witch trials, our production remains rooted in its traditional world while drawing unsettling parallels to the society we live in today. As accusations spread and neighbours turn on one another, truth becomes dangerous and panic takes control. Dark, atmospheric, and disturbingly relevant, this haunting new production asks: when fear rules a community, who survives? Join us this Halloween season for an unforgettable night of tension, paranoia, and powerful theatre.
