This new play has played in Boston and Washington, DC, where it got rave reviews. The Boston Globe calling it “genuinely funny and deadly serious,” and The Washington Post said, "Not only has Kimberly Belflower ingeniously set up nuanced resonances with America’s broader civic zeitgeist, she has also written a touching, and sometimes hilarious, portrait of bracingly specific 21st-century young people."

Now, *John Proctor is the Villain* comes to Broadway, directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor (*[The Outsiders](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/34093-the-outsiders)*). Belflower makes her Broadway debut with her fast-rising hit. With astute observations and stinging wit, this new play puts a contemporary spin on an American classic, captures a generation on the cusp of adulthood, and gives refreshing voice to young Americans. Rethink who your heroes are, and see *John Proctor is the Villain* on Broadway.

## What to watch for

- The niece of Julie Taymor, Danya Taymor has quickly risen the ranks on Broadway, starting her career off Broadway and making a name for directing Pulitzer finalist *Heroes of the Fourth Turning*.
- Kimberly Belflower is a playwright and educator originally from a small town in Appalachian Georgia and brings that background to the setting of her new play.
- Sadie Sink has been on Broadway before, starring in *Annie* and *The Audience*.
- Boston Theater Critics Association wrote, “Look out Arthur Miller: I left as fired up as these teenage girls.”

The seven-time Tony Award-nominated *John Proctor is the Villain* is a new dark comedy about a class of English students discussing *The Crucible*. While dealing with adolescence, sex ed, and first love, the students wonder whether the hero of Arthur Miller’s classic is as righteous as he seems.

Sadie Sink's final performance will be on July 13.

Get *John Proctor is the Villain* tickets and see Sadie Sink (*The Whale, Stranger Things*) star in this bitingly funny, seven-time Tony Award-nominated new play that puts a spin on an American classic. *John Proctor is the Villain* plays on Broadway starting this spring in a production directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor (*[The Outsiders](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/34093-the-outsiders)*). Kimberly Belflower’s play traces Georgia students studying *The Crucible*, whose lead character, they find, may or may not be as heroic as he seems. Get *John Proctor is the Villain* tickets on New York Theatre Guide now.

Think you know Arthur Miller’s masterpiece? Think again: experience *John Proctor is the Villain* on Broadway to see how Belflower turns the tables on *The Crucible* with caustic humor and stinging insights. Her play asks: who gets to be the heroes in the stories we tell?

At a high school in a one stoplight town in Georgia, an English class is reading *The Crucible*. It’s a bit of a snooze — especially as the students have love, sex, and some scandals on the mind — until the students begin debating the terms of the literary classic. Perspective is subjective, and no one seems to agree on whether John Proctor is actually the hero in this story.

In her play, Belflower captures a generation on the cusp of adulthood figuring out their values while fueled by pop music, optimism, and fury — and an increasingly clear understanding that their future is not dictated by their past.

After runs in Boston and Washington, DC, the play garnered glowing reviews with The Boston Globe calling it “vibrant — genuinely funny and deadly serious.” Now, Sink returns to Broadway after appearances in *Annie* and *The Audience*. See her lead this new work — tickets to *John Proctor is the Villain* in New York ar on sale now.
