International School Bangkok’s fall play is “The Crucible”, by Arthur Miller. Tickets go on sale from Wednesday 13th Nov. Tickets are being sold at HS/MS lunchtimes, and after school, in the cafeteria. Performances are on Thursday Nov 21st at 3pm, Friday Nov 22nd at 3pm and Saturday Nov 23rd at 6pm.
This riveting play details the Salem Witch Hunt trials in 17th Century Puritan America. Miller’s most famous play explores the theme of hysteria as the tensions in the village of Salem are brought to boiling point.
After being caught dancing in a forest, a group of teenage girls begin to accuse the people living in Salem of being witches. When his wife is accused, John Proctor must go to the court and take a stand against authority, unaware that it will be his morals that will come under fiery scrutiny.
Miller’s play published in 1952 is still fiercely relevant in today’s political and media climate, when those that question the certainty of an institution’s values often have to do so at huge personal cost.
This is a powerful play with strong themes. The target audience would be High School and Middle School. Older Elementary students could attend at parent’s discretion.
The same production team that last year created “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is proud this year to direct “The Crucible” for High School.
Tickets go on Sale Next Week from Wednesday Nov 13th in the Cafeteria at HS and MS lunch times. The performances are in the CCT and there is reserved seating, so book early to avoid disappointment!
Performances are on Thursday Nov 21st at 3pm, Friday Nov 22nd at 3pm and Saturday Nov 23rd at 6pm.
