Dear Colleagues,
The University of York presents a Brechtian approach to Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Performances at 7.30 from 4-6 Oct in the Black Box Theatre, Baird Lane, Campus East, York YO10 5GB.
The production proceeds from the social situation rather than the characters, and seeks to show the pernicious role of patriarchy in the play. Abigail is no longer demonized; Proctor no longer excused or redeemed.
All the best,
David
