The Crucible is about the Salem Witch Trials which took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay from 1692-1693.


Interestingly, Sarah Jessica Parker's 10th great-grandmother Esther Elwell was arrested during the Salem Witch Trials for committing "sundry acts of witchcraft" and choking a neighbor to death.

The Crucible was written as an allegory for McCarthyism (when the U.S. blacklisted suspected Communists - including many in the entertainment business).

GOOD LUCK PAIGE! (don't) BREAK A LEG!
