The curtain rises in a small room in the Proctor household, Salem, Massachusetts, in the spring of the year 1693. There is an old man by the name of Hale Corey sitting at a small table, with a women named Elizabeth Proctor. There are two chairs a small window to the left of the table and a door that leads to the kitchen is on the right. It is ten minutes past noon and Elizabeth is crying softly. Hale begins to comfort Elizabeth, and they both sit quietly neither of them talking. Many of the people of Salem are shut up inside their homes on this chilly spring morning. Elizabeth’s children are in the kitchen playing with a poppet. The men that are out working are solemn and quiet because the town of Salem was torn apart by the witch trials.
