The Crucible

Keegan Theatre

Arthur Miller's classic portrait of one man's struggle toward grace is set in the scorching context of the 17th-Century Salem witch trials. A community galvanized by fear and suspicion, a wife betrayed by lust, an orphan girl blind with passion and possessed with revenge, ruthless prosecutors, deluded holy men and covetous neighbors.

"... Mark Rhea assumes the lead role of Proctor. Rhea struggles mightily in the role. He brays instead of bellows, and he flies off the handle at times when more controlled hostility would be more compelling. Rhea just seems to lack the air of confidence and assurance the role needs."

"... There are several moments when the foreboding tension is so successfully conveyed, you may cower in the Church Street Theater’s aging, creaking chairs. That’s not unusual at a good production of The Crucible; the Salem Witch Trails make for a cringe-worthy theocratic experiment. But Keegan acquits God from the whole mess. This is a play about rational people making logical choices, with deeply disturbing results."

"... Arthur Miller’s classic retelling of the 17th-Century Salem witch trials comes to life in DC at The Keegan Theater’s spine-tingling production of The Crucible. Every breathtaking moment of this hauntingly unforgettable show forces the viewer to ask themselves several important questions –and form a true opinion of ones own character by the end of the three hour show. From start to finish – and every moment in between –Director Susan Marie Rhea masterfully molds the play’s inherent tension into her own shape and lights the play with a dark twist of humor."

The image of Abby as a dominant figure and maestro of this sorrow is unshakable. In the closing scenes, you realize to your horror that she is indomitable in her perfidy. Because you will hate her so much, you will love Sarah Lasko.
