Leah Muller: Improvisation

Actor Leah Muller describes how after the rehearsals one night, she and the other girls improvised the dancing in the woods that is supposed to have occurred before the play begins. They got into character and, with props like flour, earth and sticks, started beating on a drum, singing and dancing. Leah says that eventually, she and the other girls gang up against Mary Warren and want to beat her up.
