The Crucible

We use these audible books to supplement the literature our high school daughter must get through, so we are actively listening, rather than listening soley for entertainment. The accents took some getting used to and the speed at which the lines were spoken made it difficult at times to follow, but we found the recording helpful.

This is a wonderfully done recording with good actors. However, This recording is not complete and does not follow the script to the T, but that draw back is overshadowed by the actors. They bring the play to life the way it is meant to be. This recording even though incomplete is superbe.

As an English teacher I enjoy listening to well performed plays...and so do my students. The actors perform admirably.

Stacy Keach is magnificent as John Proctor. "My Name man, my name."

I wish there was a notation that this is an abridged version of the play.

I bought the book to read along with the book and it does not follow the book. Extra lines are added and some are out of order. It is a good performance, but I wanted it to be the book.

I was assigned this book as a school read and ended up enjoying it a great lot. the characters are very diverse and unique and the story was riveting all throughout. The audio book was a great help to get into the mood and feel of the book and helped to keep the book moving onward. The actors voices are very soothing and emotional.

My first audible.
It was recommended so I would have never picked a classic on my own. it was amazingly good. I recommend. A must.

The story is great, and the actors are great, BUT during the dramatization there are times when the actors are whispering or talking softly. Those times are really hard to understand what is being said. I ended up buying the book because I was frustrated with missing lines.

this is a very good dramatization! (you feel as though you are watching the play instead of listening to it) but it is very very fast and hard to follow along with the book at times because they skip portions.
also the story is very upseting to listen to, i felt on edge after i listened to this, but it's well written and gets the point accross.

lots of dog barking; dialogue is hard to understand; did not finish; could not follow plot due to poor dialogue.

I enjoy Arthur Miller's plays, and was impressed by the narration. However, the narration is not entirely true to text. My intent was to have my students listen to this as we read along in the book, but it quickly became clear that we could not do that. This narration skips, combines, and omits lines included in the play. It also does not include Miller's interjections from the play.
