Ellesmere Port Port community based drama group Stage Fright is staging a production of the classic Arthur Miller play The Crucible.

The play is based on the true events that took place in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts, in America.

Debbie McDowell from Stage Fright said: “Many innocent people were hung as a result of false accusations of witchcraft, and we hope that our production will depict the untruth, fear, and growing panic caused by the girls of Salem.

“From the staunch beliefs of Judge Danforth, who is called upon to bring truth and order, to the end of the play which surrounds John and Elizabeth Proctor as they struggle to forgive each other for their human weaknesses, Stage Fright hope you will support them in this, their most ambitious performance to date.”

You can see The Crucible on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9 at the Chatfield Theatre at the University of Chester Church of England Academy in Whitby Road.

Tickets £5 from www.seetickets.com. Doors open at 7pm. Performance starts at 7.30pm.
