Raiders of the Lost Crucible and Bee Season continue …

"Walter Kerr, in his 1953 review in the New York Herald Tribune ,
wrote, 'The Crucible , which opened at the Martin Beck Thursday,
…seems to me to be taking a step backward into mechanical parable,
into the sort of play which lives not in the warmth of humbly observed
souls but in the ideological heat of polemic.' For Kerr, Miller’s play is
an analytical argument, a treatise, rather than a heartfelt play about
human lives."

Brooklyn Academy of Music production —

The New York Times  on the Walpurgisnacht production —

"Specifically grim but never merely glum, the production fully taps
the self-conscious theatricality of the play ('I’m warming up for
my last soliloquy,' Hamm announces toward the end) without
letting us forget that its strange figures are appallingly real,
enacting a grotesque pantomime of humanity’s hungry need to
distract itself by wresting order, meaning and a sliver of satisfaction —
just one more sugarplum, please, or maybe a Vicodin — from
the formless, aimless, timeless nothingness of life."

— Charles Isherwood
