About the Show: Abigail Williams is in love. She has never known anyone like John Proctor, and if she has to burn down the entire town of Salem to be with him, so be it. However, as her words command more power than she ever thought possible, she learns that John isn’t the only one staking claim to things that aren’t his. Can she protect the girls in her town and still get her man? Does she even want to? This loose retelling of The Crucible looks at the politics of love, power, and teenage angst.
