In this period of struggles between colonial families and Puritan fanaticism involved in paranoia, were sentenced to death 25 people accused of witchcraft, mostly women, and an even larger number incarcerated.Ĭoincidentally the play was first performed in London at The Old Vic in 1954 directed by Warren Jenkins with the actress Rosemary Harris and in 1965 Sir Laurence Olivier directed it with Colin Blakeley and Joyce Redman. Arthur Miller wrote this play in 1952 based on the named Salem witch trials occurred within the period of colonization of the United States in 1692 in the village of Salem (currently the state of Massachusetts). Make a new representation of a theater play of so much prestige and popularity as written by Arthur Miller is certainly a very challenging job.
First I will talk briefly about the play «The Crucible» which just finished its tour last September 13 at The Old Vic Theater. My last visit was doubly wrapped in magic because I could enjoy two so different, extraordinary and impressive plays simultaneously. Travel to London is always a privilege and also a small dream come true if you have the opportunity to enjoy of the special magic that theater has.
