This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is a gripping historical play and a timely parable of today’s polarized society. The story shows how the fire of repeated lies builds until the truth is consumed by its flames. Set in a small religious community, the villagers’ lust and superstition combine to fuel a blaze of hysteria. Arthur Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of vengeful persecution while illustrating the terrifying power of the oft-repeated lie.
