In
the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing
witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by
panic - with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against
neighbor - The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held
the United States in its grip in the 1950’s.
