Synopsis
A powerful, fictional re-telling of a historical moment in 17th century America: the “witch trials” of Salem,
Massachusetts in 1692. A play famous for rousing the conscience of America, and one of the landmark dramas
of the century, it depicts how difficult it is to defend principles and human dignity under conditions of para-
noia, fear, and hysteria. The Crucible is an allegory of the insidious spread and reach of McCarthyism in the early
‘50s.
