Behind the Scenes : The Crucible : Characters

Our three night run of The Crucible came to an end on Saturday evening and as usual we are sharing some Behind the Scenes photos and details which you, the audience, don't normally get a chance to see. We are starting tonight with the wonderful characters which are so much an integral part of the play.
