let me just name myself god rq
julius ceaser has big words (prob i never actually read it but ik its shakespeare)
YES
HALE: (To Elizabeth.) Life, woman, life is God‘s most precious gift; no principle however
glorious may justify the taking of it. I beg you, woman—prevail upon your husband to
confess. Let him give his lie. Quail not before God‘s judgment in this, for it may well be
God damns a liar less than he that throws his life away for pride. Will you plead with
him? I cannot think he will listen to another.
HALE: Goody Proctor, your husband is marked to hang this morning.
ELIZABETH: (Quietly.) I have heard it.
HALE: (He finds it difficult to look at her.) You know, do you not, that I have no
connection with the court? I come of my own, Goody Proctor. (She knows this to be
untrue.) I would save your husband‘s life, for if he is taken I count myself his murderer.
Do you understand me?
HALE: Thank God they have no need of me in Andover.
DANFORTH: You baffle me, sir. Why have you returned here?
HALE: Why, it is all simple. I come to do the Devil‘s work. I come to counsel Christians
they should belie themselves. There is blood on my head! Can you not see the blood on
my head!!
HALE: Excellency, there are orphans wandering from house to house; abandoned cattle
below on the highroads, the stink of rotting crops hang everywhere, and no man knows
when the harlots‘ cry will end his life—and you wonder yet if rebellion‘s spoke? Better
you should marvel how they do not burn your province!
HALE: (Crossing D.L.) I denounce these proceedings! I quit this court! (Hale EXITS.)
bros so fuckin based
if we do it im talking in gen alpha language the entire time let it be known
alr cool this is ok
how many actors are there i mean probably 12 but we can probably portion some extra roles off given the fact we are not getting 12 people in a vc to read 12 engry men
need to rewatch it ngl
12-14
i watched the original earlier this year. weirdly good
this would be so funny. lets get as many people as possible
assuming we don’t repeat roles
getting 12-14 people is a hassle
yea we’ll probably have to repeat a few but
oh there’s a clear answer there
