El Camino College Center for the Arts – Campus Theatre (Torrance, CA)
Set during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and written in direct response to the McCarthy communism trials in the 1950s, Arthur Miller’s scathing indictment of groupthink and human paranoia remains a timeless classic of American drama. This gripping tale of a community torn apart by accusations of witchcraft is a master study on the way jealousy and fear can twist even the most innocent among us, as well as the unconquerable strength of the human spirit, even when faced with terrible injustice. The Crucible won the Tony Award for “Best Play” on its debut and went on to become a central work in the American theater canon.
