Chem Eng major, won a uni Shakespeare competition by taking the plot to the crucible and rewriting it using Shakespeare's own lines. I think i used lines from Henry IV and Julius Ceasar the most.
Won it last year, received a $100 gift card to the Union Bookshop. I'm rewriting the Illiad as a family drama, similar to Johnathan Franzen's The Corrections.

I recently read The Crucible for the first time, what the fuck is wrong with Americans?
