Script: Arthur Miller
This title is an acquisition.
In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumours that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic - with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbours eager to testify against neighbour - The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s.
Tony Award Winner for Best Play (1948)
