THE CRUCIBLE

by Arthur Miller
directed by Michael Socrates Moran

Based on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-93, this Tony Award-winning allegory—originally inspired by Miller’s own experiences with McCarthyism—resonates anew in the second decade of 21st century America.

This production seeks to unearth the ways in which the paradox of the witch-hunt, where those who proclaim purity at the violent expense of others, remains dangerously alive in today’s society. And, what’s more, how this core paradox of evil being done in the name of ‘The Good’ can implicate us all in complex and uncomfortable ways. 

“As a play that was borne of protest, The Crucible uses the context of one time in history to mirror another,” says director Michael Socrates Moran. “This production seeks to do the same, protesting how we often devolve into dehumanization in the name of purity and what dignity and integrity still cost in today’s world.”

LOCATION

All performances take place at Oakland Theater Project at FLAX art & design in Downtown Oakland.
