About the Show

Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) stars in this bitingly funny new play from Kimberly Belflower that flips the script on the American classic and 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 studying The Crucible. The students, however, are more preoccupied with navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals than what’s in their syllabus. But as they delve into this literary classic, the class begins to question the play’s perspective, especially whether John Proctor is the hero they’ve been taught he is.

Directed by Tony Award® winner Danya Taymor, JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN is a new comedy from a major new American voice, capturing a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury—and discovering that their future is not bound by the past.

About the Theatre

Booth Theatre

222 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036

Opened in 1913, the Booth Theatre was built as a companion to The Shubert Theatre. It was named after actor Edwin Booth.

The theatre’s intimate layout was originally intended for small plays and one-person shows. Undergoing a major restoration in 1979, The Booth Theatre remains in the possession of The Shubert Organization.
