Promo video- The Crucible- Aurora Theatre
26-1-17
The place is Salem, Massachusetts, in 1662, an enclave of rigid piety huddled on the edge of wilderness. Its inhabitants believe unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft- and then when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village.

First produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a new epidemic of witch hunting, The Crucible brilliantly explores the threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite and collective evil. It is a play that is not only relentlessly suspenseful and vastly moving, but it compels readers to fathom their hearts and consciences in ways that only the greatest theatre ever can.
" A drama of emotional power and impact."
New York Post
Written by Arthur Miller
Directed by Nicole Garbellini
