By Arthur Miller
Directed by Ben Barnes
MAR. 5 - MAR. 22When a group of teenage girls is caught dancing
naked in the woods outside of a tiny Puritan town in Massachusetts, an
investigation into their adolescent mischief-making derails into
madness and hysteria when accusations of witchcraft fly. As the Salem
Witch Trials proceed, Miller’s classic drama winds fear, paranoia,
lust, and greed into a real American tragedy. Written in 1953 under
the shadow of McCarthyism, The Crucible cries out against zealotry,
bigotry, and the willingness to turn on another for personal gain in a
masterpiece that is a both a gripping historical play and a timely
parable for our current society.
