The Crucible
The Crucible
is a 1953 play by the American playwright
Arthur Miller
. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the
Salem witch trials
that took place in the
Province of Massachusetts Bay
during 1692 and 1693. Miller wrote the play as an
allegory
of
McCarthyism
, when the
U.S. government
blacklisted
accused communists. Miller himself was questioned by the
House of Representatives'
Committee on Un-American Activities
in 1956 and convicted of
contempt of Congress
for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended.
