John Proctor Is the Villain

'One day, maybe, the new world we were promised will actually be new…'

Five young women running on pop music, optimism, and fury are about to shed light on the darkest secrets in their small town.

A story about girlhood, power, and questioning the narratives we've been taught.

Tony Award-winner Danya Taymor (The Outsiders) directs Kimberly Belflower's bitingly funny, fresh take on Arthur Miller's The Crucible.

Danya Taymor and Kimberly Belflower say: “We are thrilled and honored to bring John Proctor is the Villain to the iconic Royal Court Theatre where so many brilliant and audacious artists have created. It feels like special witchcraft that Arthur Miller's The Crucible also made its English debut at the Royal Court exactly 70 years ago, and we can't wait to present our production on the very same stage.”
