About The Crucible

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, The Crucible is an ageless tale of fear, greed and power written by one of the greatest American playwrights of all time. When teenage girls are discovered trying to conjure spirits, the 17th century town of Salem, Massachusetts explodes with accusations of witchcraft. The vicious trials that follow expose a community paralyzed by terror, religious extremism and greed, and a marriage forever changed.

Dramatic, historic and powerful, The Crucible continues to be one of the most poignant plays of our time.
