The Crucible with Year of Wonders

The Australian idiom is explored in this dynamic presentation of poetry and song. Couched in an historical narrative that moves from the transportation era to the present this collection of Australian voices express a variety of experiences both linguistically and culturally.

Year 11-12

Scenes from The Crucible are compared and contrasted with passages from Year of Wonders in a performance that help students gain a deeper understanding of the ideas, issues and themes of both texts.

For this analysis, The Crucible is used as the primary text and scenes are performed in chronological order. Year of Wonders lends itself to some passages from the protagonist being read or performed as a dramatic monologue to illustrate the similarities and differences between the two.

In this performance we compare and contrast the actions of protagonist and antagonist, their worldviews, superstition and mass hysteria, faith and belief, community versus self interest, roles of women and power of the individual to create change within society and themselves.

This program is developed in consultation with CWTC's Teacher Advisory Group and is followed by a post show Q & A.
