The Crucible is a powerful historical drama set during the Salem witch trials of 1692, exploring themes of mass hysteria, accusation, and integrity. The play follows John Proctor, a respected farmer, whose wife is accused of witchcraft. As fear spreads and neighbors turn on one another, Proctor must confront his own sins and decide whether to protect his reputation or stand up for the truth.

Written as an allegory for McCarthyism in 1950s America, The Crucible is both a searing critique of political paranoia and a timeless reflection on the consequences of fear-driven justice.
