I’ve been delving into some local history. Specifically the history of Salem, MA. I have long been fascinated with the Salem witch-hunt and what happened in that small town in 1690s. I first encountered this story through Arthur Miller’s famous play, The Crucible. My secondary school in Nairobi, Kenya, performed it one year. I was not an actor and so was not a part of that, but I was incredibly curious about the story. Young girls accusing people of being witches? Women, both old and young, being hanged? What on earth was going on?
