The Crucible
''The Crucible'' is a 1953 play by the American playwright Arthur Miller. It is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay during 1692 and 1693. Miller wrote the play as an allegory of McCarthyism, when the U.S. government blacklisted accused communists.〔Blakesley (1992, xv).〕 Miller himself was questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended.〔Loftus (1957).〕
The play was first performed at the Martin Beck Theater on Broadway on January 22, 1953, starring E.G. Marshall, Beatrice Straight and Madeleine Sherwood. Miller felt that this production was too stylized and cold and the reviews for it were largely hostile (although ''The New York Times'' noted "a powerful play (a ) driving performance").〔Abbotson (2005, 78) and Atkinson (1953).〕 Nonetheless, the production won the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Crucible )〕 A year later a new production succeeded and the play became a classic.〔Roudané (1987, 24).〕 It is a central work in the canon of American drama.〔Wilmeth and Bigsby (1998, 415).〕
