By Arthur Miller

This classic drama set against the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. The play is a fictionalized account of how a small group of girls in Salem, Massachusetts falsely accused others of witchcraft. The story tells how small lies build and build until a whole town is involved, eventually condemning 19 men and women to the gallows for being possessed of the Devil. The play explores themes of mass hysteria, the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs and the devastating effect of power when it is wielded by persons of questionable morality.
