"We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!"
Arthur Miller's Tony Award-winning 1953 play, The Crucible, is a timeless tragedy loosely based on the historical 1692 Salem witch trials. In this dramatization, irrational fear and hysteria are the catalysts for the tragic loss of innocent lives and personal reputations. The children are the puppet masters in the accusatory game of crying witch. The Crucible is a potent allegory for contemporary issues. It shows how easy it is to fan a climate of bigotry.
