One of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon, The Crucible is an exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem. This is a gripping and timely parable of contemporary society, as well as a studied historical tale. The story focuses upon a John Proctor, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. Proctor brings the girl to court to admit the lie – and the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. Instead of saving his wife, he finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned along with a host of others.
