'The Crucible' is a play written by Arthur Miller. The Crucible is set against the backdrop of the mad witch hunts of the Salem witch trials in the late 17th century. It is about a town, after accusations from a few girls, which begins a mad hunt for witches that did not exist. Many townspeople were hanged on charges of witchcraft. Miller brings out the absurdity of the incident with the theme of truth and righteousness. The theme is conveyed through the struggles of Miller’s main character, John Proctor. In 1953, Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" ran on Broadway at the Martin Beck. Despite being a box office success and acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, it was considered second-best to his prior "Death of a Salesman." The original cast included Arthur Kennedy, E.G. Marshall, and Beatrice Straight, and Madaleine Sherwood The Play was then adapted for the screen and starred Arthur Miller's son-in-law, Daniel Day-Lewis. The most notable performance of the Arthur Miller's classic 'The Crucible' took place at the Holton Theatre in 2005. Critics raved that this truly was the best interpretation of the play ever to grace to stage. The extremely talented cast included John Proctor........Tyler Bourke Elizabeth Proctor...Emily Henochowicz Abigail Williams....Sammie Nelson Rev. John Hale......Derek Defensor Mary Warren.........Cynthia Parmley Governor Danforth...Taylor Stanley Giles Corey.........Robert Parrish Rev. Samuel Parris..Keith Rubin Tituba..............Rebecca Malinick Ann Putnam..........Annie Dougherty Thomas Putnam.......Robert Gelb Francis Nurse.......Bob Qu Rebecca Nurse.......Tiffany Williams Judge Hawthorne.....Trey Smith Ezekial Cheever.....William Su Sarah Good..........Char Sloan Betty Parris........Lilly Kruglak Martha Corey........Christina Williams John Willard........Justin McCarthy Mercy Lewis.........Judy Barr ...as well as many more wonderful actors and actresses The 2005 play was masterfully directed by Ms. London-Thompson and by her assistant directors Relle Seidman and Marcus Parrish.

A 1953 play written by Arthur Miller. It is a dramatization of the Salem witchcraft trials that took place in Province of Massachusetts Bay during 1692 and 1693. Miller wrote the play as a response to McCarthyism, when the US government blacklisted accused communists. Miller himself was to be questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of "contempt of Congress" for failing to identify others present at meetings he had attended. It was first performed at the Martin Beck Theater on Broadway on January 22, 1953. The reviews of the first production, which Miller felt was stylized and too cold, were largely hostile, although The New York Times noted "a powerful play in a driving performance." Nonetheless, the production won the 1953 "Best Play" Tony Award. A year later a new production succeeded and the play became a classic. Today it is studied in high schools and universities, because of its status as a revolutionary work of theater and for its allegorical relationship to testimony given before the House Committee On Un-American Activities during the 1950s. It is a central work in the canon of American drama. Urban Dictionary
