Synopsis

The Crucible is a play set in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, where a small group of teen girls are caught in an innocent conjuring of love potions to catch young men. However, they are forced to tell lies that Satan had invaded them and forced them to participate in the rites. They are then forced to name those involved.

Thrown into the mix are greedy preachers and other major landowners trying to steal others' land, as well as one young woman infatuated with a married man and determined to get rid of his innocent wife.

Arthur Miller wrote about the events and the subsequent trials where those who demanded their innocence were executed, those who would not name names were incarcerated and tortured, and those who admitted their guilt were immediately freed. This serves as a parable of the Congressional Communist witch hunts led by Senator Joe McCarthy in 1950's America.

The instrumentation used in the soundtrack of The Crucible feels outdated and out of touch with the time period in which the play is set. The choice of instruments and musical motifs does not effectively transport the listener to 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, leaving the music feeling out of place and disconnected from the historical context of the story.

On the other hand, I felt that some tracks in the soundtrack were repetitive and did not offer much variation in terms of mood or tone. While the music successfully set the tone for the play, I found myself wishing for more diversity in the soundscapes to enhance the emotional impact of the story.
