When Irrational Terror Takes To Itself The

Everything We Are Is At Every Moment Alive In Us.

A Friend Of Mine Once Said That There Were Only Two Truly National Events In The History Of The United States. One Was The Civil War And The Other One Was The Depression.

The Crucible Became By Far My Most Frequently Produced Play, Both Abroad And At Home. Its Meaning Is Somewhat Different In Different Places And Moments. I Can Almost Tell What The Political Situation In A Country Is When The Play Is Suddenly A Hit There It Is Either A Warning Of Tyranny On The Way Or A Reminder Of Tyranny Just Past.

Let Either Of You Breathe A Word, Or The Edge Of A Word, About The Other Things, And I Will Come To You In The Black Of Some Terrible Night And I Will Bring A Pointy Reckoning That Will Shudder You. And You Know I Can Do It; I Saw Indians Smash My Dear Parents' Heads On The Pillow Next To Mine, And I Have Seen Some Reddish Work Done At Night, And I Can Make You Wish You Had Never Seen The Sun Go Down! - Abigail
