Why watch John Proctor is the Villain?
- John Proctor is the Villain is a novel take on a classic that forces you to question how heroes and legends are made.
- Set in a modern high school English class, the story follows young minds as they start to question the literature they consume.
- Playwright Kimberly Belflower revisits The Crucible with sharp, poignant humor beautifully housed in the talents of stars like Sadie Sink.
Playwright Kimberly Belflower's revisionist take on Arthur Miller's The Crucible was originally workshopped in 2018 at college theater departments. It would develop into an award-winning production staged at the Studio Theatre in 2022 and the Huntington Theatre Company in 2024. On the surface a coming-of-age story, John Proctor is the Villain is a delightfully nuanced take on literature itself.
Storyline
It's time for English class at a high school in a one-stoplight town, somewhere in Georgia. The Crucible is at the forefront, but the students are far more preoccupied with things that really matter: young love, sex ed, and scandals. But as the pages turn, they find themselves drawn to Arthur Miller's classic and wonder: was John Proctor the hero we all once thought he was?
