About the Show:The Crucible is widely considered one of the great plays of the twentieth century. It debuted on Broadway in 1953 and won the Tony Award for Best Drama and Best Actress. It has since been performed on Broadway in a revival almost every ten years. It is the true tale of a Puritan community in Salem, Massachusetts at the end of the 17th century, a servant girl accuses a farmer's wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many. Townspeople are told if they confess or give up their friends' names, their lives will be spared. As hysteria spreads and people are sentenced to die merely on the accusation of a neighbor, a web of bigotry and deceit is uncovered that changes lives forever.
