Omg I know exactly what this play is. I’ve read it last year in my English class. It’s called The Crucible, right? Based on what I can remember, the reason there was tension is because Elizabeth thought John was cheating on her. I maybe wrong. But based on what I’ve read, it sounds like it had to do with an affair or something like that.
I’m pretty sure that it’s omniscient :)
