In the Puritan town of Salem, Massachusetts, a group of girls go dancing in the woods with a slave, Tituba. They are caught by the town minister, Reverend Parris. When Parris’s daughter falls into a coma-like state a crowd gathers and the talk of witchcraft begins. The girls’ ring-leader, Abigail Williams, tells them not to admit anything. But when Betty wakes screaming and a new reverend arrives Abigail starts to accuse townspeople of cavorting with the devil. The townspeople turn on each other and the witch trials begin, though the fingers pointed at the accused are seemingly for witchcraft they may be truly for darker, more personal reasons – highlighting a fault running deeply through this Puritan community.
