Salem, Massachusetts 1692. When the stories of three local girls are taken as gospel, a small village populated by Puritans and petty local rivalries, is thrown into panic by talk of witchcraft. The community begins to purge itself, and as accusations fly suspicion alone is accepted as evidence. Written during the vigorous and unscrupulous investigations of Senator J R McCarthy in 1950's America. The Crucible is a timeless portrayal of communal hysteria and the evil of mindless persecution.

Reviews

: 11Jan01:
An interesting and well thought out stage set and superbly convincing actors make this play both enjoyable and realistic. Watched this play to aid an A-level theatre studies course, and it brought the text to life (It was so convincing that our Tutor even cried towards the end!) Particular congratulations to Glenna Morrison (Mary Warren), Paul Hamilton (John Proctor) and Guy Nicholls (Giles Corey) for their convincing portrayal of their characters. The scene changes in this production are undertaken in a particularly interesting way.
