Read by Stacy Keach, Richard Dreyfuss, Ed Begley, Hector Elizondo.

A classic of the American Theatre - Arthur Miller's tense, ingeniously
multi-layered drama of principle and paranoia.

The place is Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, an enclave of rigid piety
huddled on the edge of a wilderness. Its inhabitants believe
unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy
masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when
a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft and then when those
accusations multiply to consume the entire village.

First produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a
new epidemic of witch hunting, The Crucible brilliantly explores the
threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite
and collective evil. It is a play that is not only relentlessly
suspenseful and vastly moving, but that compels listeners to gather
their hearts and consciences in ways that only the greatest theater
ever can.

A full-cast performance by The Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center
featuring Robert Foxworth, Pamela Payton-Wright, Stuart Pankin, and
Jerome Dempsey and cast.
