In THE CRUCIBLE, Arthur Miller created one of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon. Set during the turmoil of the Salem witch trials, the story focuses on a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant woman who causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings her to court to admit the lie, but instead finds himself accused of witchcraft, along with a host of others, as fear and opportunism consume the town. Written during the height of the Communist “witch hunts,” this exciting drama about Puritan hysteria is a gripping and timely parable of our contemporary society.
