According to Arthur Miller, <em>The Crucible</em> has become his most-produced play because most people see the story as their own.

There was an anti-communist rage that reached tremendous proportions, there was not just a hunt for subversive people, but for ideas. Miller himself was prosecuted and convicted. <em>The Crucible</em> is one of the surviving fragments of the McCarthy period.
