What is the play The Crucible about?
Set in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, The Crucible follows a community consumed by fear as accusations of witchcraft spiral out of control.

Really interesting adaptation of this Arthur Miller play. The allegories between US 1950 and the Salem Witch trials is very visible, but you could compare it to the current world views too. This is still happening. Actors are excellent!
