drama the crucible This year, our drama club was again successful in its attempt at a major play. The Crucible , written by Arthur Miller, is the story of a witch hunt in New Salem during the early colonial years. A group of girls, led by Abigail Williams, set out to have all those in their disfavour accused of witchery. As the plot thickens, it becomes obvious that Miss Abigail has her eye (and actually always had) on our hero, John Proctor. When Proctor tries to expose her plan to the court, he himself is accused. In the end, Abigail and the girls rob her uncle, the fanatical Reverend Parris, and leave the country while John Proctor dies a glorified hero leaving a cold and unfeeling widow. The play was capably directed by Mr. A.E. Morrison. Many thanks. Our Best Actor award should be shared by John Starkey (Reverend Parris), Peter Ballachey (John Proctor), Dan Johnson (young Reverend Hale) and Eric Jones (the officious Deputy Governor Danforth). The actresses were superb, especially both Heather Summerhayes as the conniving young Abigail Williams and Carolyn Guest as Elizabeth Proctor, wife of John. Supporting roles were also well played and always in character. Susan Snow warrants special mention for her portrayal of a seventy-two-year-old pregnant, pipe-smoking drunk. What more can we say? The stage and scenery were executed under the direction of Doug Newell, our stage manager. Lighting proved to be a good show thanks to the boys , Larry Nemeth and Mr. Edmondson. In all, it must have been a successful production — we thrilled our critic and received three standing ovations. 98
