THE CRUCIBLE

THE CRUCIBLE

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

April 3 – May 1, 2027

By Arthur Miller

Directed by James Rice

In THE CRUCIBLE, Arthur Miller created one of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon. Set during the turmoil of the Salem witch trials, the story focuses on a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant woman who causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings her to court to admit the lie, but instead finds himself accused of witchcraft, along with a host of others, as fear and opportunism consume the town. Written during the height of the Communist “witch hunts,” this exciting drama about Puritan hysteria is a gripping and timely parable of our contemporary society.
