The Crucible
by Arthur Miller
October 20-22, 2011 at 7:30pm
October 23 at 2pm
Metropolitan Theatre
This American classic drama pits an individual’s soul against a monstrous political and religious “witch hunt.” John Proctor has
been unfaithful to his wife, and retribution for all slights runs rampant. Will he have the courage to face his past and the power of the court? Written during the anti-Communist hysteria of the 1950s, The Crucible illustrates perfectly Miller’s ideas of the tragedy of a common man—where the individual must reconcile his actions with the world at large.
