Beginning the Crucible. 


So begins the tale of the infamous Salem Witch Trials, a truly frightening time in the history of America. This time being recreated under the writer Arthur Miller. Unlike most plays, usually being entirely fiction or inspired by true events this play is based off of the actual court documents recorded during the witch trials. Yes, everyone character in this story is a real living human being and not the fabrication of the mind of a writer.

I'm looking forward to reading and watching the movie. The Salem Witch Trials is a terrifying chapter in American colonial history, and seeing it relived would be an interesting experience. Seeing the events of old with the mind of a 21st century teenager will be humorous.
