Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE starring Saoirse Ronan

Arhur Miller is one of the most prominent Amer playwrights of the 20th C ("Death of a Salesman" & "View From the Bridge.")  He received the Pulitzer Prize for "Death of a Salesman."  "The Crucible" is a timeless parable about morality dealing with the Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism.  The cast includes Tony winning actors & Acad award nominee Saoirse ("Brooklyn".)  Original score for the play is by Philip Glass.  Glass is one of the most influential composers & musicians of the late 20th C.  The major incredients for a memorable theaterical experiences were all in abundance.  Nonetheless, watching this oppressive, holier than thou, blowhard show was odious.  Never my favorite Miller play,  I will never again subject myelf to this erudite miss hit.
