In the Puritan New England town of Salem, Massachusetts, a young girl, motivated by jealousy and anger, sets the town on a mad witch hunt that pits neighbor against neighbor and changes lives forever. Arthur Miller wrote this Tony Award-winning drama in 1953 as a parable of contemporary society, drawing comparisons to the McCarthy hearings of the 1950s.

"No critic seemed to sense what I was after [which was] the conflict between

a man’s raw deeds and his conception of himself; the question of whether conscience is in fact an organic part of the human being, and what happens when it is handed over not merely to the state or the mores of the time

but to one’s friend or wife."
