Site Specific The Crucible Scenes

We had dissions with the female characters and picked out the top three important characters which are Mary, Mrs Proctor and Abigail. They all have a part within the story but we need to have people to play the characters of Tituba who was blamed and Betty who is the possessed child within the beginning scene we decided that we should have the younger class playing these roles because multi rolling may confuse the audience and will be more difficult for us.

We looked at scene one and we decided that we wanted to cut parts out that we think we don't think we need to be a part of out piece because we want to do a adaptation of The Crucible we had to remove characters completely from it and taking out different lines to make it make more sense with the story line because we don't want the performance to be too long.

We all agreed as a group that we liked the relationship between Abigail and John Proctor with the affair we had a big discussion that we should get rid of it because this is why they started to blame people for witchcraft but we think that it was because of the girls dancing in the woods we all decided that it brings something else to the story and gives it more drama but this did not happen within the real witch trails but it will go well with our performance and give it something different.

As a group we looked at the Putnam Family Ann and Mr Putnam and thought we should remove them from the story. These people have tried to have children 7 times and have lost them Ann decides  to blame the supernatural as the cause because this is what she believes but it is within herself and to do with her health. This means girls would be blamed more from events like these happening because everyone believed that is was them who were doing this to people. This got rid of a section within the scene and only means we need to keep the religion within some of the scenes.

The last characters we decided to remove from the play was Rebecca and Corey Guiles. These were not important to the story we wanted to tell because they both believed the same thoughts. They both did not agree with what was going on and believed that people were making it up and decided to watch and see what happens we think they did not bring a big part to the performance and think more characters will be better.
