I have to say, I was really glad I went to see the Crucible. Naci was reading it in her high school class when it opened at the college, so both of us were able to get extra credit for attending.
Unfortunately, I just commented on Swen's blog about the Crucible, and now I'm out of things to say without being redundant.
The play was comprised of true historical characters from the Salem Witch Trial period. Each cast member did research on their character before doing the play. There is so much more to the story, I hope everyone who saw it was inspired to learn more about this tragedy.
The Crucible was written during the McCarthy Era in direct relation to the communistic "witch hunts" that prevailed during this time period, another puzzling piece of history.
I also find the title of the play intriguing. I contemplated that for some time after watching the play. Very appropiate, and stirring.
