This play, directed by Niamh Merritt, is the dramatised story of the Salem witch trials that took place in Massachusetts in 1692. The ”Founding” fathers and farmers used gossip, and religious hypocrisy as weapons for their own greed against each other. This was only about 50 years after they had landed and driven out the indigenous population and stolen their lands, The Crucible is an exciting and chilling play for the ages.
