Seventeen months afterwards, after lawful action was taken on 144 individuals, with 20 of them being sentenced to death, the humiliating Salem witchcraft court proceedings ended at long last.

The play is set in colonial Massachusetts, British Puritans established a theocratic society in North America. The residents of Salem believed in witches and witchcraft like all Puritans. All accused witches would be hanged unless they confessed, so some people had to tell lies to save their lives.
