Begin "The Crucible"
The Crucible is a play that was written by Arthur Miller in 1952. It is based on the events surrounding the 1692 witch trials of Salem, MA. However, playwright Arthur Miller wrote about the event as an allegory for Senator McCarthy and the "Red Scare," which occurred in the United States in the 1950s. Miller was himself questioned by the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956. The play was first performed on Broadway on January 22, 1953.
