The Story
Set amid the hysteria of the Salem witch hunts of 1692, this blisteringly powerful drama continues to burn with relevance. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller’s arresting story reveals the perils of entrusting justice to the self-righteous, while dissenting voices of individuals are silenced by the fervor of a tormented community.
