Devonshire Playhouse Presents The Crucible

A fictionalized account of the Salem witch trials, serving as an allegory for McCarthyism, the story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie—and it is here that the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others. By Arthur Miller   Directed by Tyler Skafgaard & Paul Pint   Presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc.  Saturdays, February 26 & March 5 and / 7 p.m. Sundays, February 27 & March 6 / 3 p.m.     Devonshire Playhouse 4400 Greenwood St. Tickets: $15 Available at the Devonshire Cultural Center and by clicking the button below.
