Last night we saw the Crucible at Cleveland Playhouse. Long play but totally worth it! It's the classic Arthur Miller play about the Salem witch trials. He was definitely going through a rough time in his life with the McCarthism and accusations of communism. The message of the play holds true in today. A definite must see!
Every seat in this production is a good one. The stage is in the center and the audience is on all four sides. The set rises and falls and the effect really works. The actors run around it and up and down the aisles.
We learned in the pre-show talk that the girls' costumes change from more innocent to more domineering as they gain more power in the town. Pictured above: one of the scenes from the second act.
I really recommend seeing this show. Check out this video:
