The Crucible

The play, “The Crucible,” performed at the Huntington Beach Library Theater on Wednesday was a very well performed, however lengthy, play. It takes place in Salem, Massachusetts during the witch trials, which is the main theme of this play. The plot is that a group of kids were caught “conjuring spirits” and are now accusing people of witchcraft, but the citizens eventually realize that this is all fraud and are trying to save the lives of the accused, especially John Proctor.
