The Crucible is a 1953 play by the American playwright Arthur Miller. It was initially called “The Chronicles of Sarah Good”. 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.
