Hilliard Darby Theater presents
The Crucible
by, Arthur Miller
Widely considered a masterpiece, this timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. Among the most produced plays since its 1953 debut, THE CRUCIBLE is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of contemporary society.
Show Dates:
- Friday, Nov. 8th @ 7:00 pm
- Saturday, Nov. 9th @ 7:00 pm
- Sunday, Nov. 10th @ 3:00 pm
