The Crucible
When a married farmer has an affair with the teenage niece of a Puritan minister, she plunges turbulent Salem in to a lethal witch hunt, conspiring with other oppressed orphans to prey on existing grudges, hysteria, and superstition. He's faced with a conflict of conscience, forced to choose loyalty or lust, impartiality or interference, and honor or life. An allegory for the Red Scare, Arthur Miller's The Crucible is a dark drama of love, lechery, and lies, exploring the ongoing war between morality and self-preservation, based on the true horrors of the Salem Witch Trials.

Ollantay
Ollantay
Pre-Columbian Inca General Ollantay, a commoner, finds himself in a secret courtship with Kusi Quyllur, the emperor's daughter. Upon his learning of their romance, Ollantay is banished, and Kusi Quyllur is forced to raise their child in a home for sacred women, commencing years of warfare between the ruling family and Ollantay's armies. When the emperor , upon his death, is succeeded by his son, the fate of the separated lovers is left in the hands of their daughter and Kusi Quyllur's brother, examining the significance of conflicted loyalty, familial obligations, devotion, and military honor. One of the oldest persisting pieces of Quechua oral tradition, Ollantay is a timeless tale of class discrimination, the persistence of love, and family, the indigenous American predecessor to Romeo and Juliet.

Jane Eyre
Orphaned as a baby, the witty and rebellious Victorian Jane Eyre finds herself growing up under the abusive wing of a reluctant aunt, comforted only with her curiosity and passion for learning as she's discarded in the appalling conditions of a tuberculosis-ridden boarding school. When she graduates and takes work as governess to the ward of an eccentric noble, she finds herself captive to her heart, torn between temptation and the modesty of her religion. A feminist piece adapted directly from the nineteenth-century classic of the same name, Jane Eyre is the story of a woman who finds her voice in a time where women were voiceless, delving in to the power of the human spirit over convention.
