What I meant was, as the wiki article mentions, that some versions of the play remove the narrator at the beginning of acts 1 and 2 that explicitly compare the witch trials to fears of Communism.
I forgot that was even in there. It's been a decade since reading it. I mostly remember doing a wicked witch of the west voice for my character
