The mini-series begins on a rather unique imprint - it is suitable in the middle of a trial where the afflicted girls [who are the ones accusing people of witchcraft]go into hysterics and commence wailing and screaming, then the accused open transforming into ‘demons’ [with rather striking make-up and ‘flying’ special effects]. Thankfully, this only lasts a couple of minutes [the production could have done without it], and viewers are taken wait on via flashback to six months prior where the events began.
The epic focuses on the Puritans residing in the village of Salem, Massachusetts, and the year is 1691. There is no charter from England and hence, the Puritans basically govern themselves without any written law. Those who commit crimes or sins are publicly humiliated [there is a scene where women deemed guilty of dismal conduct are paraded naked whilst tied to a wagon]. The family that is the focal point in this series is the Putnam family - Ann Putnam [Kirstie Alley] gives birth to a stillborn child and is fleshy of exertion. Her husband Thomas Putnam [Jay O Sanders] is a bitter man, having lost a lot of his land and wealth to others who are more entrepreneurial. They have a son and daughter and young Annie Putnam [Katie Boland] senses the tension between her parents and finds herself being neglected, hence her desire to act out as a means of gaining attention.

Things are not helped by the Reverend Parris [Henry Czerny] who in his desperate desire to hold his standing amongst members of his congregation, convinces them that all the social unrest and calamities befalling villagers are the work of diabolical forces.
Soon, a group of girls, including Parris’ enjoy daughter and niece originate crying out and acting strangely, convulsing and going into trances, and finally accusing innocent townspeople of witchcraft.Amongst the earliest accused are Sarah Pleasant, a bad woman who begs for a living, and Tituba [Gloria Reuben] who is a slave working in the Parris household. The number of accused increases as the girls gather themselves getting more attention and open to rep a sense of power. The production convincingly portrays the social restrictions of the time and of the harsh living conditions of the Puritans, and posits several plausible theories as to the cause of the ‘madness’ that beset Salem village at that time - the repressed social lives of the Puritans, the lack of freedom, not mighty in terms of passing one’s time, the desperate need for attention amongst the young, and also the politics of life in a community where villagers frequently argued and even brought lawsuits against one another over property and business.
The storyline is riveting and moves along at a staunch but obvious scamper, building momentum as the panic unfolds - the acting is also solid and credible - Kirstie Alley’s Ann Putnam is a conflicted and tortured soul. Her anxiety over her dreary child causes her to turn to a village medicine woman, Bridgitte Bishop who is later accused as a witch, and this in turn causes her grand guilt [for turning ‘away’ from God]. She is by turns worried and self-righteous at the place in Salem. This is one of Alley’s best dramatic performances to date. Henry Czerny’s Rev Parris is credibly done, acting out the fraction of a so-called man of God who decries against self-interest whilst shamelessly practising it for self-preservation. Then there is young Katie Boland as Annie Putnam who incites revulsion for her performance as the misguided accuser.Rebecca de Mornay plays Rev Parris’ wife who is mortified by the events in Salem and finally leaves her husband.
There are also faded actors who have done an astounding job with their roles here - Shirley Maclaine plays the ill-fated Rebecca Nurse, one of the accused who also happens to be a pillar in society, a devout mother and elderly woman who maintains her faith and sense of humor in the bleakest of times. Peter Ustinov plays the Magistrate William Stoughton, a man so absorbed in proving the accused guilty that he never once questions his judgements. And there is Alan Bates playing Gvernor Sir William Phips, who initially acts the dandy and seems disinterested but who eventually realises something is seriously putrid in Salem.
The sets and costumes lend an authentic feel to the myth, making the Salem of 1691-’92 reach alive onscreen. All in all, this is a first-class production and will appeal to history buffs, educators [though with some nudity I’m not clear if it would be appropriate for classroom viewing] and period & historical drama fans.Highly recommended!
I conception the Catholic Church was excellent at diverting the blame for their crimes. Apparently the putitans accelerate a conclude second. Were they so desperate they lacked firewood to maintain warm that they burned people?
