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.

The play is really a kind of nightmare. It ought to flow rapidly and effortlessly from one moment to another. In London, we had difficulty with the set, which required too much effort to move around. Having gotten the benefit of seeing it done once, I wanted to work on the script, to make it sharper and more pointed.

I cannot sleep for dreaming I cannot dream but I wake and walk about the house as though I'd find you coming through some door.
Arthur Miller

There is a kind of perverse unity forming among us, born, I think, of the discontent of all classes of people with the endless frustration of life.
Arthur Miller
