hunts the trial and condemnation or people accused of witchcraft in Sal em during the late seven century but Its relevance today has changed little from he time of conception in Parallels have been drown to McCarlhyism although Miller denied the political liaison while some critics offer more specific Inter pretatlons such as How ard Fasts comparison to the Rosenbergs The common denominator is human nature The reason It has re mained popular says Judith Gooding director of the high schools pro duction is because it has a universal theme It deals with adultery rcla tlonshlps mass hysteria communication encc self respect being true to ones moral everything UNIQUE Under Goodings close direction the Drama Clubs production is In a number of ways Gooding collaborated with Louise a Ryerson student In the development of a unit set consisting of ramps and risers to replace the trad itional flat box set The classic box set Is used to create realism but Gooding s set is repre sentational
