The Crucible, by Arthur Miller
Gungahlin College Theatre Company presents
The Crucible, by Arthur Miller

15 Aug 2023 to 19 Aug 2023

This classic drama, frequently studied in the senior secondary English and Drama curriculum, exploring the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem, is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. The story tells how small lies – children’s lies – build and build until the suspicions of a whole town is aroused. Set in a small tight-knit community, personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Arthur Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.

Wednesday night, 16 August is Dinner and Show night. Students studying Hospitality at Gungahlin College will cook and serve a 3-course meal, starting at 5:45 - with Canapés , Entree and Main courses served pre-show, as well as dessert/coffee at interval. Cost for the meal is $30 per head.  Interested patrons must purchase show tickets via Stagecenta.com first and then call the school front office on 61421000 to make and pay for your dinner booking seperately.
