Lillian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
Written as an allegory for the McCarthy “witch hunts” launched against supposed communists in the 1950s, Arthur Miller’s classic and timeless American drama about the Salem witch trials celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Set in 1692 Massachusetts, The Crucible explores the mass hysteria that takes hold when five young girls claim to have been visited in the night by the devil, a scandal that catches the young farmer John Proctor and his loyal wife Elizabeth in the crossfire. Directed here by Bill Voorhees for Dollar Bill Productions, Miller’s play originally won the Tony Award in 1953.
