Five young women running on pop music, optimism, and fury, are about to shed light on some of the darkest secrets in their one stoplight town. From Tony Award®-nominated playwright Kimberly Belflower, Tony Award®-winning director Danya Taymor (The Outsiders), and starring Tony Award®-nominated Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN is “an urgent new play about a group of students battling for the right to be the narrators of their own lives” (The New York Times).
“Perfect! The best play of the season.” —New York Magazine
“John Proctor Is the Villain is the best play of the season, but even more significantly, it is a feminist masterpiece sure to become one of the defining works of art from and about the #MeToo era.” —Variety
“Vital, hilarious, thrilling, and urgently necessary.” —New York Times
