Arthur Miller (1915–2005) was a Pulitizer-Prize winning American playwright, who combined social awareness with a searching concern for his characters’ inner lives. He is best known for Death of a Salesman but The Crucible is his most performed play. Miller came under questioning by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956 at which he refused to name others who were involved in political activities similar to his, saying “I could not use the name of another person and bring trouble on him.” As a result, a judge found Miller guilty of contempt of Congress and Miller was sentenced to a fine and a prison sentence, blacklisted, and disallowed a US passport.
