Hope Hewitt notes a grand production of Anhur Miller's The Crucible at Meltgmraine Theatre. John Sumner directs a long, intense drama set in 17th century Salem amid witch trials and McCarthy-era parallels. Strong performances by Summers, Whaley, Miller, Rowe, and Dustefield persist through a demanding, fiery arc culminating in Proctor's moral victory. The ensemble captures hysteria, authority, and Puritan routine, with set and costumes aiding the austere mood.
