Sadie Sink takes center stage in Kimberly Belflower’s bitingly funny new play, JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN, a new comedy directed by Tony Award® winner Danya Taymor. This provocative work boldly flips the script on the American classic, The Crucible, challenging long-held notions of heroism and who gets to define our stories. Set in a high school English class in a rural Georgia town, the play cleverly juxtaposes Arthur Miller’s iconic drama with the very modern concerns of today’s youth – navigating young love, sex education, and local school scandals.
As these students, a generation in mid-transformation fueled by pop music, optimism, and an undeniable fury, delve into The Crucible, they begin to critically dissect its narrative, specifically questioning John Proctor’s celebrated heroism. With deep wells of passion and biting humor, JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN emerges as a major new American voice, illuminating a generation discovering that their future is not bound by the past.
