Breakdown
Reverend Parris: 40's. Dried up and bitter. Always the victim, almost to the point of paranoia. Ultimately a stupid, fearful, cowardly and spiteful man.
John Proctor: Mid 30's. New England farmer. Powerful man both physically and emotionally. Even tempered and not easily lead. Very straightforward and fundamentally honest man. Must have real strength and presence. He carries the play.
Tituba: 30's / 40's. Black female servant from Barbados. Caribbean dialect. Has great warmth and strength. But quite naive and easily swayed - ultimately pushed over the edge into madness.
Abigail Williams: 17. Very attractive and sexy. A strikingly beautiful girl in Miller's words with an endless capacity for deception. Capable of great emotional fireworks. Will do anything to serve her own ends. Probably a sociopath.
Susanna Walcott: 16-17 a nervous hurried girl.
Ann Putnam: 40's. A twisted soul of 45, a death ridden woman, haunted by dreams. Small minded and hard.
Thomas Putnam: 40's- 50's. A well to do, hard-handed land owner. Venal, small minded, bitter and vindictive.
Mercy Lewis: 16-17. The Putnam's servant. A sly, merciless girl. Sarcastic. A 17th century Mean Girl.
Mary Warren: 17. Somewhat plain. A subservient, naive, lonely girl. Pliant and scared.
Betty Parris: 17. Rev. Parris' daughter. In the throes of a borderline psychotic adolescent hysteria. A deeply troubled girl.
Giles Corey: Late 70's, early 80's. Farmer. A small man physically, wiry, still powerful, canny, inquisitive, argumentative, strong willed.
Reverend Hale: Late 30's - early 40's. Intelligent, committed. Intellectual. Takes great pride in his knowledge and scholarship of the occult world. Initially convinced of the righteousness of his position, but not closed-minded. Ultimately a good man who follows his conscience and is appalled and broken by the events of the play.
Elizabeth Proctor: Early to mid-thirties. Solid farm wife. Attractive, but not beautiful. Reserved and somewhat cold - but with reserves of warmth, great strength and real emotional depth.
Francis Nurse: 70's-80's. Honest, straightforward, good man. Appalled, bewildered and frightened by events.
Ezekial Cheever: 40's. Clerk of the Court. Not a bad man. Simply trying to do his duty honestly as instructed but not without empathy. Not particularly bright.
John Willard: The Marshall. Good natured. Follows orders. Perhaps a weakness for drink, amplified by the darkness of the times.
Governor Danforth: 50's/60's. Intelligent. Imposing presence. Strong. Arthur Miller: A grave man of some humor and sophistication that does not, however, interfere with an unflagging loyalty to his position and cause.
Judge Hathorne: 50's/60's. A bitter, remorseless Salem Judge. Utterly convinced of his own righteousness.
