Rutgers Theater Company

The Crucible*

By Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller took on the perverse power of the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950's and demonstrated in this classic tale that witch hunts are nothing new.  Demagoguery and mob rule envelop 17th-Century Salem, but the evil that kills comes not from witches and warlocks--it comes from us.
