Set during the Salem witch trials of 1692 and written in direct response to the communist controversy of the 1950s McCarthy era, The Crucible explores the paranoia that takes hold when five young girls make a supernatural claim, a spreading scandal that catches the young farmer John Proctor and his loyal wife Elizabeth in the crossfire. The Crucible won the Tony Award for Best Play in its Broadway debut, and Arthur Miller's scathing indictment of extremism and fear mongering remains a timelessly relevant classic today. Experience this riveting drama at Pittsburgh's New Hazlett Theatre Performing Arts Center.
