For press information, contact Gabrielle Maxey

The Crucible, Arthur Miller's drama based on the notorious 17th century Salem witch trials in Puritan Massachusetts, will be presented Feb. 20-22 and Feb. 25 through March 1 at The University of Memphis. All performances will begin at 8 p.m. on the main stage in the Theatre and Dance Building.

The drama pits evil and conformist doctrine against individual will. A young woman, infatuated with a married man, accuses his wife of witchcraft. Accusations fly as the community of Salem is stirred into mass hysteria by superstition, paranoia and malice. Like a timeless myth, The Crucible crosses the boundaries of history, geography, culture and race.

Tickets are $10 for the general public, $7 for faculty, senior citizens and non-U of M students. U of M students each receive one free ticket with presentation of a valid I.D.

For reservations, call 901-678-2576.
