In 1953, legendary writer Arthur Millerdepicted a story based on actual facts;facts which remain horrifying even to this day, despite being based on events which took place over 300 years ago.The story is a terrifying depiction of how the accusations of a group of children stirred up such fear in their small community that it led to persecution and hangings. But, what makes the story so touching even till this day is that it applies to all “witch”hunts; yes, witch hunts taking place every day.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Welcometo the story of:

It is the spring of 1692. The small town of Salem, MAhad been established a mere forty years earlier, and hadyet to make it its mark on the rest of the world. However, while not all were immediately aware, 1692 would be a year of ‘revolution’ in America. No longer was everyone willing to adhere to the strict lifestyle that had been set down by their forefathers. While the town of Salem may have appeared to be a serene and enjoyable place to live, it was about to experience an event that would change their lives forever. Little did they know, though, that their story would still have a tremendous effect on us today.
