Arthur Miller's The Crucible will be presented at Palm Beach Dramaworks, opening on April 3 (7:30pm) and continuimg through April 19, with specially priced previews on April 1 and 2 (7:30pm). PBD Producing Artistic Director William Hayes directs.

A masterful exploration of the 1692 Salem witch trials, this timeless and timely Tony Award-winning play is also an allegory for McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committee's modern-day witch hunts. Convinced that witches are living among them, Salem is gripped by mass hysteria, paranoia, fear, and retribution, with neighbors turning on and turning in neighbors, and religious fervor turning a blind eye to justice.
