Resumen:
Based on historical people and real events, Arthur Miller's play uses
the destructive power of socially sanctioned violence unleashed by the
rumors of witchcraft as a powerful parable about McCarthyism.
Tomado del estuche: The setting is 17th century Salem, Massachusetts. A group of teenage girls meets in the woods at midnight for a secret love-conjuring ceremony. But instead of love, Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) wishes for the death of her former lover's (Daniel Day-Lewis) wife. When the ceremony is witnessed by the town minister, the girls are accused of witchcraft. Soon the entire village is consumed by hysteria, and innocent victims are put on trial, leading to a devastating climax.
