Theatre trip to the Altrincham Garrick 'The Crucible' by Arthur Miller

Betty Paris lies in a trance after a childish game spins out of control, the accusations of witchcraft are quickly manipulated by those with something to gain.  However, when false accusations reach fever pitch, the devout community of Salem, Massachusetts descends into a cauldron of hysteria and paranoia it can never return from.  What lies are the townspeople prepared to tell themselves in order to survive?  Written in the 1950s, when the insidious fear of communism gripped America, 'The Crucible' is a devastating portrayal of the human cost of tyranny and vengeance.
