THE OLD VIC'S THE CRUCIBLE is a recording of a live performance at the Old Vic theatre of Arthur Miller's play about the Salem Witch Trials.

threat and horror
There is a sense of portentousness throughout, which increases as the hysteria surrounding the trials increases and characters are threatened either by supernatural forces or with hanging.
language
There are occasional uses of moderate bad language, including 'bitch' and 'whore', as well as references to 'lechery', 'adultery' and a woman being a 'harlot'.
theme
Within the historical setting, there are frequent references to hangings, witchcraft, and possession by the Devil, and characters experience fits and violent outbursts which are supposedly due to the influence of supernatural forces.
additional issues
There are infrequent moments of mild violence and brief sight of blood on a character's hands after it is implied he has been tortured.
