The Crucible
Wayne State University Theatre and Dance stages The Crucible, the classic drama about the Salem witch hunts, on Friday, March 5, at 7:30 p.m. at the Hilberry Gateway in Detroit. Tickets are available online.
One of the most acclaimed plays in the American canon, The Crucible follows the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem. A young farmer, his wife and a servant girl are at the center of it: the girl maliciously gets the wife arrested for witchcraft.
The farmer drags the girl into court to make her confess the lie, but bigotry and deceit spiral out of control. He ends up accused himself, condemned along with many others. It works as a historical tale and as a parable that still feels current.
The production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. The Hilberry Gateway is at 4715 Cass Avenue.
