Editorial Reviews

Review
"Harold Bloom is the world's leading Literary critic" - The Times 28.11.00" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
The Crucible portrays 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts, as a rigid theocracy eager to ferret out real or imagined deviations from the norm. The play indicts everyone in Salem -- and by extension American society -- for the crimes of intolerance and blind hatred.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great recording, October 5, 2002
By Alana Morales (Gilbert, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this recording this year while teaching "The Crucible". My students loved it!! The emotion conveyed by the cast is SO much better than the typical monotone voice that students use while reading out loud. Even though there were some small parts that are skipped when following along with our textbook, it was completely worth it (and the parts skipped were very small - it was very easy to read it aloud if necessary).

5.0 out of 5 stars L.A. Theatre Works Recording is outstanding!, May 26, 2003
By Volkert Volkersz (Snohomish, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The last time I read "The Crucible" was in high school back in the 1960s. Over the years I had forgotten much of what it was about, however it wasn't until I listened to the excellent production by L.A. Theatre Works that the raw emotions of this gripping story came to life.

As a few other reviewers here have suggested, this story works better as a play, not just a high school "textbook." I'd suggest that any students who have to read this book also take the time to listen to this recording.

My impression this time is that a merciless, judgmental religion is no true religion. I hope that young readers, or listeners, will realize that this is not the type of religion that Christ intended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to follow along, September 21, 2008
I bought this cd set to read the play along with my students. It's very theatrical and there are a lot of sound effects. The actors go so fast, that it's hard to follow along if you're reading the play. There's a lot of mumbling, sighing, heavy-breathing. Anyway, if you are wanting to just listen to it, this is a great purchase. If you want to read along, I would try a different cd set.
