THE CRUCIBLE by Arthur Miller | Run time approximately 3 hours with an intermission
Based on historical people and real events, Miller's drama is a searing portrait of a community engulfed by hysteria. In the rigid theocracy of Salem, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town's most basic fears and suspicions; and when a young girl accuses Elizabeth Proctor of being a witch, self-righteous church leaders and townspeople insist that Elizabeth be brought to trial. The ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neighbor to testify against neighbour brilliantly illuminates the destructive power of socially sanctioned violence.
Strong language. Some frightening movement. Not recommended for young children. Viewer discretion is advised.
