The Crucible is a 1953 play by American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692–93. Miller wrote the play as an allegory for McCarthyism, when the United States government persecuted people accused of being communists.

5 stars

A great play about the madness of the Salem trials and how fare can humanity go on false pretence. A classic of American literature I hadn't read since now and that I truly recommend!
