A blistering commentary on the manipulative, paranoid and hypocritical way of humankind, The Crucible has been said to be one of the greatest American plays. The Crucible is heavily based on the events of the Salem Witch Trials and studies how jealousy, power and a spark of fear can overturn an entire society. 

In this theoretical iteration, the stage floor is a giant sandbox in a Salem that has long since turned to dust. The players are ghosts onstage, meant to tell and re-live their stories until their message is finally received.
