This is a classic of the American theater. The place is Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, an enclave of rigid piety huddled on the edge of a walkerson. The very belief in their own sanctity will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft - and when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village.
