About The Crucible

Brought up to believe they should be seen but not heard, a group of young women suddenly find their voices, and discover that their words can have terrible power. A witch hunt ensues, and personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Soon the truth itself is on trial, and no one is safe. Arthur Miller’s classic tale of persecution and false accusations is as relevant today as it ever was.
