Have I read this before: We read this in 11th grade English, I believe. Was it 11th grade? It was whatever grade I was in when I had an English teacher who had all sorts of Yoda quotes plastered around the room. I really liked her because whenever we read a play, we actually read it out loud. She would ask if anyone wanted to volunteer to read a character (and if not, she’d assign us) and we’d just read through the plays. It was super immersive and very enjoyable.
(I was Reverend Parris when we read this play.)
Anyway.
Review: I’ve always liked this play. I love how things accelerate and snowball and how you get this feeling that there was no way to turn back once the lies started to spiral. It’s very suspenseful and stressful.
Favorite Part: Just how much you hate Abigail Williams by the end. Or even at the beginning, haha.
Rating: 7/10
