Passion, jealousy, paranoia, betrayal and evil come to life in one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century. In the small Puritan town of Salem, where one’s life is dedicated to the service of God, several girls are accused of engaging in the “Devil’s Work”. One girl, Abigail Williams, her innocence lost in the bed of John Proctor, a married farmer, drinks a charm to kill his wife. As time goes by the village becomes consumed by cries of witchcraft. One by one, the blameless victims of this mass hysteria are torn from their homes until, inexorably, Abigail’s vengeance is turned on Proctor’s wife.
