John Proctor is the Villain

Things are unsettled at Helen County High in rural Georgia—rumors are swirling around a student’s dad, a classmate blew up her life and left for Atlanta, and Mr. Smith’s junior English class has to make it through sex ed before they can finally start The Crucible. When the teens start to question what really happened in Salem, their small-town scandal comes into sharp focus and begins to look less like a total witch hunt. A new play from a major new voice, John Proctor is the Villain captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury—writing their own coming of age story.
