The Crucible at the Arclight Theatre

The Schoolhouse Theater and Mare Nostrum Elements presents The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, at the Arclight Theatre from 6 Feb - 2 Mar 2008.

The Crucible: A historical play based on events of the 1692 Salem witchcraft trials, is a powerful and timeless depiction of how intolerance and mass hysteria can tear a community apart. When Abigail Williams is held under suspicion of practicing witchcraft, she in turn levels charges against her former employer, Elizabeth Proctor. In the wake of Abigail's charges, Reverend Parris begins hearing accusations and counter-accusations from all sides of the community, so he brings in a judge to determine who is guilty.

Directed by Pamela Moller Kareman, The Crucible features Kevin Albert, Terry Ashe-Croft, Keith Barber, Virginia Barber, Stephanie Bayliss, Sarah Bennett, Sari Caine, Lauren Currie Lewis, Tyne Firmin, Jennifer Hildner, George Kareman, David Licht, Simon MacLean, Cheryl Orsini, David Rigo, James S.
