Win Tickets to The Crucible
21st Sep 2011
The Keegan Theatre (Washington DC) and the Town Hall Theatre (Galway) present
The Crucible
By Arthur Miller
Everyman Palace Theatre, Mac Curtain St.
Mon 26th Sept - Oct 1st 2011
Miller’s classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch hunt of 1692 – “one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history” – and the McCarthyism which gripped America in the 1950’s.
The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.
Directed by Susan Marie Rhea, this American- Irish co-production features a cast of twenty and gives regional Irish audiences a rare opportunity to see one of the greatest American plays.
“One of a handful of great plays that will both survive the twentieth century and bear witness to it” - The Sunday Times
