Arthur Miller’s The Crucible returned to Broadway in a new production directed by the acclaimed Belgian director Ivo van Hove, which earned four Tony Award^® nominations including Best Revival of a Play. Set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, The Crucible is a timeless parable of morality, a scorching indictment of intolerance, and a central work in the canon of American drama.
