John Proctor is the Villain
What happens when the story you’ve always been told suddenly doesn’t add up?
By Kimberly Belflower
Directed by Autumn Angelettie
Described as “an American classic in the making” (New York Theatre Guide) and “vital, hilarious, [and] thrilling,” (The New York Times) the critically acclaimed, Tony-nominated play John Proctor is the Villain makes its Georgia debut.
At a high school in a one-stoplight town in Georgia, a group of lively teens navigate young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals while studying a canonical play in English class. As the students delve into the American classic, they begin to question the play’s perspective and grapple with what happens when the story you’ve always been told suddenly doesn’t add up.
With deep wells of passion and humor, this dramatic comedy captures a generation mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury. Alternating between touching, unsettling and bitingly funny moments, these teens discover that their future is not bound by the past and that they have the power to change it all by writing their own coming-of-age story. Full of emotional honesty, Kimberly Belflower’s electrifying play captures the messy brilliance of teenage girlhood – and the moment when a generation decides to rewrite the narrative.
