ARTHUR Miller's The Crucible is the next production by Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society.

The play runs at the town's Market Theatres from Wednesday to Saturday, May 18-21.

Inspired by the McCarthy Communist witch-hunts of 1950s America, it focuses on the village of Salem where, in 1690, many were wrongly tried and convicted of witchcraft.

Tickets are £7 (£4 students) from Ledbury Books and Maps or 01531 633760.
