Deaf West Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Written as an allegory for the McCarthy “witch hunts” launched against supposed communists in the 1950s, Arthur Miller’s timeless drama about the Salem witch trials celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, remaining as powerful a statement as ever about the American tendency towards mass hysteria. Set in 1692 Massachusetts, The Crucible explores the frightening paranoia that takes hold when five young girls claim to have been visited in the night by the devil, a spreading scandal that catches the young farmer John Proctor and his loyal wife Elizabeth in the crossfire. Armin Shimerman and Geoffrey Wade co-direct a double cast dubbed the Proctors and the Putnams for the Antaeus Company, one of L.A.’s most respected classical ensembles.
