Beverly Gebhard and Terry Wick are
cast in the loading roles of Arthur Miller's
"The Crucible" which opens at Medford
High school auditorium Thursday, March 2,
for a three-night run. Miss Gebhaid is cast
as Elizabeth Proctor and young Wick as
Proctor, her husband. Although the plot of
the drama is based on the witch-craft trials
of early New England, critics have pointed
ft
out that it is a mistake to see "The Crucible"
as merely an interesting expose of a par
ticularly sorry and remote part of American
history; that pressures to conform are as
great today in many ways as they were in
1692, and the decision to resist as hard to
make. Mrs. Lenore Zapell directs the play;
curtain time is at 8 p.m.

The plot of "The Crucible"
is built around two moral
choices made by John Proc
tor. The first occurs when his
wife Elizabeth is accused of
witchcraft by the young girl
Abigail, who-, hopes thus to
clear the way for her to re
place Elizabeth as John's wife.
His decision is to go before
the court and accuse Abigail
of fraud, even though it means
he must expose his own trans
gressions. It is a hard choice
for a proud man to make, but
his love for his wife will not
permit him to see her die for
his error.
The second and more diffi
cult decision is made after
his attempt to expose the
fraud fails and he himself has
been imprisoned for being a
wilch. The pressures of both
church and state descend upon
him. Both forces try to get
him to confess to witchcraft
so that he may be set free
and the rumblings of doubt in
the village may be quieted.
Because he sees himself as a
great sinner, he feels it is a
fraud to go to the gallows
like a "saint" and he decides
to confess.
After his confession to
witchcraft is written and he
his signed it, he realizes that
this lie is a sorry compro
mise. The public display of
this document would mean
the ruin of the only thing he
has left, his name as an up
right man would be destroyed.
tie tears the confession to
shreds and is led to the gal
lows. In response to pleas
that she slop him, Elizabeth
says, "He have his goodness
now. God forbid I should take
it from him."
Arthur Miller has written
a number of liioughl-provok-ing
plays. His "All My Sons"
