THE CRUCIBLE (staged reading)

Description

 Our previously scheduled site-specific production of Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE has been pushed due to town zoning complications. We are looking forward to setting new dates. In the meantime, please join us for a FREE, one-night-only, reading in The Bok.

Based on actual events that occurred during the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, and inspired by the wave of hysteria that swept the nation under McCarthyism in the early 1950s, THE CRUCIBLE is widely considered a masterpiece. This timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. Among the most produced plays since its 1953 debut, THE CRUCIBLE is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of contemporary society, as it explores our relationship to fear, fundamentalism, and groupthink.
