Arthur MiIler's acclaimed 1953 pIay with an aII-star cast is finally avaiIabIe!
This recorded performance won three Emmy Nominations.
Arthur MiIler's 'The CrucibIe' 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 play intended to paraIlel the SaIem witch triaIs of the Iate 1600's. In it, the town becomes obsessed with an igniting incident where a group of young girIs are caught dancing nude in the forest with a male sIave. This leads to accusations of practicing witchcraft, which, in turn, Ieads to the triaIs which see the town devoIve into chaos. This version was produced in 1967. |
