The Crucible
The Salem witch hunts are given a new and nasty perspective when a
vengeful teenage girl uses superstition and repression to her advantage,
creating a killing machine that becomes a force unto itself. Pulsating with
seductive energy, this provocative drama is as visually arresting as it is
intellectually engrossing. Arthur Miller based his classic 1953 play on the
actual Salem witch trials of 1692, creating what has since become a
durable fixture of school drama courses. It may look like a historical drama,
but Miller also meant the work as a parable for the misery created by the
McCarthy anti-Communist hearings of the 1950s. This searing version of
his drama delves into matters of conscience with concise accuracy and
emotional honesty. Three passionate cheers for Miller, director Nicholas
Hytner, and costars Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder. --Rochelle
