The Crucible at Westchester Playhouse

Using the historical and controversial subject of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials, The Crucible presents an allegory of events from the McCarthy Hearings of the 1950s, as reason and fact become clouded by irrational fears and the desire to place blame for society's problems on others. John Proctor, an out-spoken farmer, gets caught up in a conspiracy not even his own strength can control when his ex-lover Abigail throws false accusations on his wife Elizabeth. As Proctor tries to free his wife and prove all others accused of witchcraft innocent, he finds himself accused as well. Watch as one man stands in a tug-of-war between God and Satan, pride and damnation, good and evil, when The Crucible comes to the stage of the Westchester Playhouse in Los Angeles.
