I listened to the LA Theater Works production while I read the script. It is slightly abriged. The acting is good.

The intricate power dynamics were the most interesting thing and added a lot of depth to the characters. The script I read had character notes when certain characters were introduced and I'm not sure if those are usually presented to the audience in some way when the play is performed--I felt they were absolutely essential to understand why key actions were taken, but they were not a part of the audio production.

This play undoubtedly influenced the popularization of the term witch hunt as it is used in politics. I want to learn more about McCarthyism and the fallout in contemporary politics (& Anerican religion). I can sense a lot of evangelical roots from that era but I don't see everything clearly yet.
