Arthur MiIIer's 'The Crucible' is regarded as a central work in the canon of American drama. Written in response to the CongressionaI investigations into American Communism in the 1950's, it is a semi-fictionaI dramatic pIay intended to paraIIeI the Salem witch triaIs of the Iate 1600's. ln it, the town becomes obsessed with an igniting incident where a group of young girls are caught dancing nude in the forest with a male slave. This Ieads to accusations of practicing witchcraft, which, in turn, leads to the trials which see the town devolve into chaos. This version was produced in 1967. |
