Fond du Lac Community Theatre presented Arthur Miller's drama in two acts, The Crucible with three performances on February 21, 22 and 23, 1963 at 8:15 P.M. at the Roosevelt Auditorium.
General Comments: "The Crucible" is an exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in Old Salem. It is a combination of historical play and timely parable about certain immediate parallel issues in our contemporary society - the "irresponsible pressures" according to Kerr (Herald Tribune) "which are being brought to bear on free men...with the evasions and dishonesties into which cowardly men are daily slipping." Quoted from "The Commonweal," a Roman Catholic magazine..."Mr. Miller's characteristic theme is integrity, and its obverse compromise. In "The Crucible" however, he has stated his theme again with a wholly admirable concision and force. From "Commentary" which is published by the American Jewish Committee..."It is a drama of universal significance." History: "The Crucible" was made into a major motion picture in 1957, starring Simone Signoret and Yves Montand. Return to FdLCT Productions Return to top
