Absurdism is often done badly. I think there are plenty of undergraduate playwrights that read Rhinoceros but few that recognize that The Crucible was a lot easier to pull off.

    Be you foolish, Mary Warren? Be you deaf? I forbid you leave the house, did I not? Why shall I pay you? I am looking for you more often than my cows!

Wow, that line is still burned into my mind after what, 4 years? I've never tried something with so many different emphases as that line.

Also I love that play, because Miller hates hypocrites just about as much as I do.
