THE CRUCIBLE

A historical drama by Arthur Miller

Directed by Ronald Dean Nolen

FEBRUARY 11-13 & 18-21, 2027

One of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon, this exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is a gripping and timely parable of contemporary society, as well as a studied historical tale. The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife and a young servant-girl (who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft). The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie – and the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned.

The Crucible is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.com
