Its inhabitants believe unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft--and then when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a new epidemic of witch-hunting, \u003ci\u003eThe Crucible\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly explores the threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite and collective evil.
