The Octagon Theatre presents The Crucible

When a group of young women are discovered attempting to conjure spirits in the forest, the Puritan town of Salem is gripped with fear. Does Satan really walk amongst the townspeople, or is there something even more sinister afoot? The community becomes paralysed by terror and religious extremism and the girls fuel a deadly climate of panic and intolerance with accusations of witchcraft against fellow parishioners. Empowered by this witch-hunt hysteria, their ringleader, Abigail, senses an opportunity to take revenge against the lover who spurned her, John Proctor. But as Proctor heroically struggles to expose the truth, the power of Abigails malicious accusation shatters the peace in Salem and events spiral out of control.
