Synopsis

Frequently acclaimed as Arthur Miller's finest play, this exciting drama centers on' the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem. The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant girl who maliciously causes the wife's arrest for witchcraft. A group of children caught dancing nude in the forest, apparently under the influence of a servant from Barbados who practices voodoo, results in the cry of witchcraft as the girls fall under spells to protect themselves. This brings about an investigation by church authorities and ultimately results in a major trial that culminates in one of the most intense courtroom scenes of the modern theatre. Innocent people unjustly accused are sent to their death while the accusers go free.
