John Proctor Is The Villain

About John Proctor is the Villain

John Proctor is the Villain at Wyndham’s Theatre transfers to the West End following a sold-out run at the Royal Court. Kimberly Belflower’s play centres on five young women in a small town, where a soundtrack of pop, adrenaline and barely contained rage frames a story in which buried truths begin to surface and the characters question what they have been told.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Danya Taymor, this production was described by the Financial Times as “joyous, blazingly intelligent”. It is a pointed exploration of girlhood, power and the courage to question what we think we know.

The season begins in February 2027 and runs for a strictly limited 12-week season.

Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes, with no interval.
