What is The Crucible about?

The official synopsis of the play reads: “Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women suddenly find their words have a terrible power. As a climate of fear spreads through the community, private vendettas fuel public accusations and soon the truth itself is on trial.”

Alcock will be taking on the role of Abigail Williams, one of the play’s leading characters, from June 7 through to September 2.
