  Summary

  Instead of John Proctor becoming a symbol of martyrism and murder, this member of Salem, MA gives in to the finger-pointing game of life and death. Both allowed and forced to live with himself and his lies, John has no choice but to mend his relationships and cope with the issues before him. With an overbearing court system, how will those who live *truly* live?
