Description:

AUDITIONS MONDAY, DECEMBER 13TH BY APPOINTMENT. A Tony Award Winner for Best Play, this exciting drama about the purge of witchcraft in Salem is a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. The story focuses on a farmer, his wife, and a young girl servant who maliciously causes the wife's arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie, and here the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. Arthur Miller wrote this masterpiece during Sen. Joseph McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee hearings, for which Miller was called to testify in 1956. “Although the play is an historical allegory for the McCarthy period, its true power lies in its ability to be re-interpreted to fit any time period. Its fertile themes - the lure of power, the gullibility of those who believe they have a moral imperative, the need to accept responsibility for the consequences of all actions, and the nature of truth - are universal in scope [and] have recurred with alarming predictability throughout human history.” -Review by James Berardinelli.
