The Crucible by Arthur Miller
In 1953, Arthur Miller wrote what is now an American classic, The Crucible. Set in Massachusetts during the late 17th century, the play is based on the Salem witch trials. While Miller certainly took dramatic license when necessary, he kept the fate of his characters the exact same as those whose name they share from this historical event. This play was written in response to Miller's interactions with the House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities during the McCarthy era. In 1956, Arthur Miller was found guilty of having "communist beliefs" and also convicted of "contempt of Congress" for refusing to give the names of people he had seen at meetings. His protagonist, John Proctor, faces a similar fate, ultimately choosing truth and integrity over his life. The play won a Tony award for Best Play in 1953.
