Clark Theatre and Theatre Tulsa Presents THE CRUCIBLE, 11/13-11/21

Clark Theatre and Theatre Tulsa presents "The Crucible" on November 13-14 and 19-21 at 8:00 pm and November 15 at 2 pm at the Liddy Doenges Theatre at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.

Based on the Salem Witch Trials of early Colonial America, "The Crucible" is one of the most important plays in American drama.

"The Crucible" tells the story of John Proctor, a man whose wife is accused of witchcraft. Her accuser is a teenaged servant girl with whom John has had a previous affair. Set in Puritan Massachusetts, the play deals with religious hysteria, hypocrisy, and the power that fear has over a threatened community. Though some events have been fictionalized, "The Crucible" is based on historical events. The real John Proctor was hanged for witchcraft on August 19, 1692.
