[Quick Summary: Scorned girl uses the witch hunt to accuse her ex-lover's wife.]
I did not like this script much.
Though a vengeance tale should be entertaining, I was bored.
(Perhaps because it "is a drama of ideas, but they seem laid on top of the material, not organically part of it"?)
I thought this was the best line:
PROCTOR: Sir, there are them that cannot weep and them that cannot sing --my wife cannot lie.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED: All the ingredients were there, but I wasn't rooting for anyone very much. Hence, the story didn't move me.
