Synopsis

Arthur Miller's tale of the Salem witch trials, in which a group of girls accuse upstanding women in the town of witchcraft to divert suspicion from their own activities, has been seen as an allegory for Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist crusades of the 1950s.

Notes:

The Crucible played one additional performance on June 9, 2002 as a benefit for The Actors Fund.
