The Crucible
by Arthur Miller
“A potent commentary on the perils of mass hysteria”
About the Play
Arthur Miller’s play written in the early 1950s, is set in Salem, Massachusetts, during the infamous 1692 Salem Witch Trials. This era was marked by paranoia, hysteria, and deceit, which tightly gripped the Puritan communities of New England. Miller's narrative not only meticulously captures the historical backdrop of the witch trials but also serves as a potent commentary on the perils of mass hysteria and the dire consequences of unquestioning conformity.
The themes explored in The Crucible resonate strongly today, offering a cautionary tale about the fragility of justice and how easily fear can be exploited for political or personal gains. This riveting and powerful play is now regarded as a modern classic, demonstrating the timeless relevance of its message.
