“When I was a sophomore in high school, I was cast as Abigail Williams in a regional production of Arthur’s Miller’s The Crucible. At 15, it was by far the most mature role I had been cast in, and the experience had a tremendous impact on me. Beyond my fascination with Abigail and the world that she lived in, embodying the role had a strong influence on my day to day life. It changed the way I perceived both myself and the world around me. The role innately tied into my own coming-of-age —and being extremely self aware, this fascinated me. I began to imagine what Abigail’s story would look like set in a modern day high school… and the first, almost unrecognizable draft of Blame was born.”
