"The Crucible" is a brilliant illustration of the adage, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Abigail is a young woman who has been betrayed by a married man. In an attempt to take him for her own, she hatches a dangerous plot involving falsehood, witchcraft, and murder. However, when this tangled web accidentally snags the man she loves, it's anyone's guess as to who will break first.

"The Crucible" was written as a parallel to the infamous "Red Scare" of the 1950's, during which any action deemed "unusual" or "unpatriotic" was seen as a potential indicator of Communistic tendencies. In 1953, it won the "Best Play" Tony Award, and has remained a staple of American literature ever since.
