The Crucible became by far my most frequently produced play, both abroad and at home. Its meaning is somewhat different in different places and moments.

Arthur Miller
The Devil is precise the marks of his presence are definite as stone.
Arthur Miller

Great drama is great questions or it is nothing but technique. I could not imagine a theater worth my time that did not want to change the world.
Arthur Miller
