The Crucible
by Arthur Miller
Recipient of the 1953 Tony Award® for Best Play.
THE STORY: Widely considered a masterpiece, this timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. Among the most produced plays since its 1953 debut, THE CRUCIBLE is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of contemporary society.
“THE CRUCIBLE continues to be mounted and taught worldwide because it speaks to universal fears of social isolation and the unknown—fears especially present in a rapidly changing world…” —The New York Times.
“…shattering…both massive and humane, as much a chiseled monument as a gut-bucket suspense story. …How firmly, yet how gracefully, Miller’s sturdy words and warnings still hold the stage.” —Los Angeles Times.
“Although this political thriller was written in response to America’s mid-20th-century fever of McCarthyite witch hunts and the naming of names, there has…never been a time when the play was not relevant.” —Variety.
Mentions of violence and death and religion. Audience age suggestion 12+.
