THEATRE - SRT THE CRUCIBLE

SRT’s The Young Co. proudly presents their graduation show - Arthur Miller’s The Crucible - is a powerful and timeless depiction of how intolerance and hysteria can tear a community apart. A tale of witch hunts, religious persecution, sexual revenge and social hysteria centered on the true story of the horrifying witch-hunts that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts at the end of the 17th century.


A group of teenage girls gather in a forest one evening and are involved in an innocent conjuring of love potions in order to catch the eye of the young men that they desire. Guilt at being caught in the act drives them into a frenzy of accusations and they are forced to tell lies that Satan has invaded them. Through their hysteria and false accusations, 19 innocent townsfolk are put to death as witches.

Watch Nikko as she plays the Lead, Abigail as her character develops from answering Parris innocently, to manipulating the girls, seducing the man she loves to false accusations on Elizabeth, ending up in pure hysteria in the courts and threatening the highest judge.

A famed photographer also sat in to take some shots of our final rehearsals, and here is one of the pictures of the show for your viewing pleasure.
