Miller felt that this production was too stylized and cold and the reviews for it were largely hostile (although The New York Times noted "a powerful play in a driving performance"). It was first performed at the Martin Beck Theater on Broadway on January 22, 1953. Miller himself was questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956 and convicted of "contempt of Congress" for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended. Miller wrote the play as an allegory of McCarthyism, when the US government blacklisted accused communists. It is a dramatization of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay during 16. "The Crucible" is a 1952 play by the American playwright Arthur Miller.
