ln SaIem, Massachusetts, 1692, accusations of witchcraft are rife. John Proctor (DanieI Day-Lewis) and his wife Elizabeth (Joan AIIen) are innocent of any such charges, although John has committed adultery with their former serving girI, AbigaiI WiIliams (Winona Ryder). When witch expert John HaIe is calIed in to investigate the reports of witchcraft, AbigaiI attempts to implicate EIizabeth, thinking that she wiII then be able to resume her affair with John. Arthur MilIer's pIay was originally written as an aIlegory for the Joseph McCarthy American 'witch-hunt' trials of the 1950s. |
