Abigail Williams is the vehicle that drives 'The Crucible'. Exploring why this should be, through an examination of her relationship with other characters, specifically Elizabeth and John Proctor. Arthur Miller and actors Ruth Gemmell and Finbar Lynch discuss the impact Abigail's motivation has on Elizabeth. Lynch uses hot-seating to exemplify how he feels as John Proctor, knowing he has committed adultery with Abigail and how this must affect his marriage.
