SVP AIDEZ MOI, JE COMPRENDS VRAIMENT RIEN, J'AI AUCUNE IDEE !!!!!!!

Your task
Write the script for the scene of a play (= a “playlet”) about a witch-hunt.

The situation
You are the scriptwriter for an association called ‘WITCH!’ (Witch-hunting Is Totally Contrary
to Human rights). Your association tries to heighten the public’s awareness to the totalitarian
aspect of collective witch-hunts by presenting short scenes from plays about witchhunts
that have marked the history of the western world. The members of your association
perform these “playlets” at public events across the globe.

The facts
The association already has “playlets” about the Salem witch-hunt and McCarthyism.
Below is one of the association’s pamphlets including a list of other witch-hunts.

Witch-hunting is totally contrary
to human rights!
• Socrates (Greece)
• Martin Luther (Germany)
• Galileo (Italy)
• Joan of Arc (France/GB)
• Dreyfus (France)
• The Rosenbergs (USA)
• Sacco & Vanzetti (USA)
• Japanese-American internment camps (USA-WW2)
• Rom gypsies (EUROPE)
WITCH-HUNTS IN HISTORY THAT SHOULD
NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!

Choose a witch-hunt that interests you (one in the list or one you know of).
Research into it, to identify key characters and the type of argument used by “the witchhunters”.
(You should aim to write at least 300 words.)
