Last night I had the opportunity to attend a production of "The Crucible" by the Tapestry Theatre Company. I studied the play in college but had forgotten how adept Arthur Miller is at packing meaning into character and plot. With the limited budget of a community playhouse (scenery and costumes were lacking), Tapestry did a fine job conveying the emotional dilemmas of the major characters, as well as the horror of communal madness. Elizabeth Williams and Greg McCay were particularly commendable as Elizabeth and John Proctor (Personal disclosure: Elizabeth Williams is my girlfriends roommate.), and Teddy Gron made for a solid Giles Corey.
