Hysteria as theatre

I went along to see the the Auckland Theatre Company's production of The Crucible last night at the Maidment. A fine production it is too, running for the next three weeks.

The cast is terrific, direction excellent and the set and lighting stunning. Twenty-three actors are on stage at one time or another, so this is a serious undertaking.

It is really hard to pick standouts among them, too, as the quality across the board is so high. So I'm going to opt for a collective performance - the hysteria of the Salem girls, those who start naming names. Two of said are redheads, and when they both get going, hair flying, it's a sight to behold.
Get along there.
