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.
