THOMAS PUTNAM — An influential landowner in Salem, he has a sense of privilege and is always careful to protect his interests, both personal and in business. He has a vested interest in seeing certain people being found guilty of witchcraft. (50’s) — also plays Danforth
DEPUTY-GOVERNOR DANFORTH — The judge within the witch trials, Danforth has a strong sense of his own infallibility. Although he is set in his ways, he is intelligent, if blinkered by his own preconceptions as to how the world should work. (60’s) — also plays Putnam
REVEREND JOHN HALE — The most intellectual and open-minded of the prosecutors, Hale has both a sense of decency and practicality that is lacking in the more extreme believers in witchcraft. He trusts his instincts regarding whether someone is a good person or not, and refuses to march in lock step with forces he believes are moving in the wrong direction. (40’s/50’s)
REBECCA NURSE — Older, wise and respected within the community, Rebecca has earned the high regard she is given through her integrity and adherence to the teachings of Christianity. She is tough, but sensible, humble and slow to anger. (60’s/70’s) — also plays Ann Putnam
ANN PUTNUM — The wife of Thomas Putnam, Ann has the same sense of privilege, coupled with her belief that she lost almost all her children as a result of witchcraft. She also has a vested interest in finding certain folks guilty of witchcraft. (40’s/50’s) — also plays Rebecca Nurse
MARY WARREN — A young woman who works for the Proctors, Mary is easily frightened and influenced. However, there is within her an inner core of goodness that will be tested by the events of the play. Mary looks up to Abigail, but also allows herself to think or herself, when the circumstances demand it. (20’s)
ELIZABETH PROCTOR — Married to John Proctor, a successful farmer and landowner, Elizabeth is a devoted wife and mother. That said, there has been a rupture within the marriage, which is proving hard to heal. She is a true Christian and finds strength in the knowledge of that fact. (40’s)
MERCY LEWIS — A young follower of Abigail’s, Mercy has a cruel streak in her and can sense weakness in others. She allows herself to be caught up in the witchcraft hysteria, which also serves as a means of self-preservation. (Late teens/early 20’s)
JOHN PROCTOR — A devout, hard-working farmer, Proctor is also his own man and sometimes goes his own way. Although his spiritual life is less tied to the physical church, his belief is no less real than those who are in the pews every Sunday. He is unpretentious and is suspicious of pretensions in others. He carries the burden of the sin of adultery, committed with Abigail Williams (40’s/50’s)
ABIGAIL WILLIAMS — Charismatic and wise beyond her years, Abigail is a skilled manipulator, as well as a rebel within this tight-knit, religious community. Intelligent and resourceful, Abigail is ready to ride whatever opportunity might present itself to her. (20’s/30’s)
REVEREND SAMUEL PARRIS — The local pastor, Parris is not well-loved by the community, and he knows it. He is constantly balancing the need to keep his parishioners happy, with his own very sensible needs for decent housing, heat and pay. He is also the surrogate parent and protector of his niece, Abigail Williams. (40’s/50’s)
