THE CRUCIBLE 

by Arthur Miller

Massachusetts, 1692. In the village of Salem some young girls seem to be hit by a strange illness. We soon learn that they are just covering up a silly teenage experiment, but since nobody in Salem knows about this, the girls' illness is instead blamed on witchcraft.  Reverend Hale, an expert on the subject, is called in for help. One of the girls quickly realizes that confessing will save her head, so Abigail confesses to witchcraft and starts accusing others.  This lifts the girls to a position of power. From then on the  situation in town spins out of control - people who find themselves accused can only save their lives by confessing  and blaming others...

Will my Betty be well again?

Maybe some professional help is needed.

Abigail tries to control Proctor.

All the other girls around Betty..

Hale, the expert, practising exorcism.

There are some people who do not fall prey to the social hysteria, and who want to convince the court that an investigation into the facts of the case will reveal the truth. Is it too late for the voice of reason to be heard?
