 Based on historical people and real events, Miller's classic play about the witch hunts and trials in 17th century Salem, Massachusetts, is a searing portrait of a community engulfed by hysteria. Written in 1953, The Crucible is a mirror which Miller uses to reflect the anti-Communist hysteria inspired by Senator Joseph McCarthy's "witch-hunts" in the U.S. Reissue.   less

I hated the ending, but hey, it takes a good author to piss you off to the point of throwing the book, eh?

One of my absolute favorite plays - I hope to direct it one day! So dark. There is so much to glean from the play and the history surrounding it - a director's/actor's dream!

Arthur Miller's take on the Salem Witches. His allegorical tale reflects the Mc-Carthy years paranoia about Reds under the bed. Great insights into how the Mob is manipulated by Law. Lies and Superstition into condemning innocent people to ostracism, torture and sometimes death.
