The EUTC’s production of The Crucible invites you to journey to
Salem Massachusetts to 1692 at the height of the Salem witch trials to
experience how swiftly honest God-fearing people can be swept up in a
bacchanalia of fear, paranoia and loathing all set beneath the wooden
beams and amongst the dirt and hay of our very own barn.
A powerful study of the human condition, the play tracks the implosion
of a small community. Kindled by a culture of conceit, suspicion, and
generation-old rivalries, a fire of accusations catches light as the
facade of civilisation is torn away and our base tendencies are laid
bare.
For one week only Bedlam Theatre will be transformed into a 1600’s
barn, presenting this classic drama in a thorough and historically
accurate production. This authentic staging of the play allows light
to shine on the beautifully detailed characters painstakingly
researched by Miller.
