The play by Kimberly Belflower, with direction by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor, is about five young women who clash with their school, their Georgia town, and the stories they’ve been instructed to believe. As their class dissects The Crucible, they begin to question who we deem heroic, who we call a villain, and who gets burned in the process.
