«The Crucible» is Arthur Miller's play, published by Heinemann in hardcover (160 pages, in English).
The play delves into the collective hysteria that led to the Salem witch trials of 1692 and the fate of some characters caught up in the persecution. Miller shows how suspicion and personal interests tear a community apart; it is also a parable of McCarthyism in the United States of the 1950s.
A play in four acts, originally published in 1953; part of the Heinemann Plays For 14-16+ series.
Edition aimed at students aged 14 and over, designed for classroom use and the study of English literature.
