What is The Crucible about?

Arthur Miller’s powerful fable of false accusations and community fuelled hysteria returns to London’s West End. Set in the midst of the Salem witch trials, The Crucible follows the devastating journey of John Proctor, a steadfast farmer whose life becomes entangled in the infamous trials when his beloved wife is accused of sorcery by a group of local young girls. As allegations mount, fear engulfs the previously tight-knit community, and the mere act of questioning the validity of an accusation is akin to confirming it.
