Miller's serious drama opens fall season The Crucible Arthur Miller’s serious drama about the Salem, Massachusetts witch trials came to the RHS stage November 16,17. and 18. The story recounts Puritan America in 1692. Strict authority and rules were applied to everyone in the village of Salem. Attending church every Sunday was the most important. Dancing and merriment were looked upon with disdain. When the young girls of the village were discovered dancing in the woods outside of town they said that whey were under the spell of Tituba (Dina Metaweh) Reverend Parris' (Doug Rask) slave. To cover their lie they continued to accuse people of witchcraft and finally they accused Elizabeth Proctor (Nancy Kremer) the wife of John Proctor (Mark Kaufman). One of the girls, Abigail (Mary Eginton), accused Elizabeth because she was in love with Proctor. They in fact had an affair that Proctor later had to confess to in order to save his wife’s life. He was eventually put on trial because Elizabeth denied that he had been untrue to her and was executed. The play was staged and directed by Mr. Frank Plut and Mrs. Virginia McFerran. The unique stage setting designed by Scott Peters added to the drama of the play. Above.
