Set in 1634 France, this play tells the story of demonic possession and religious prosecution. Father Urbain Grandier is accused of witchcraft and promiscuous behavior against the nuns. Grandier appears to have genuine psychic powers, but he is innocent of his other supposed crimes. Ultimately, he's brought to trial. One of Dumas's most intense psychodramas.
