Jonathan Church: John and Elizabeth Proctor's relationship

Director Jonathan Church talks about how rehearsals allowed the actors to explore their characters. In the first scene between John and Elizabeth Proctor, it is evident that there is tension in their relationship, but the acting manages to also convey a hint of the passion that once existed between them. Jonathan says that Patricia Kerrigan, who plays Elizabeth Proctor, challenges us to see Elizabeth as more than the bland person she can appear from reading the script.
