‘John Proctor Is The Villain’ Broadway Review: Sadie Sink Works Magic In Riveting New Play


The Deadline Broadway review of 'John Proctor Is The Villain' starring Sadie Sink.

Set in 2018 in the high school of a “one-stoplight town” in northeast Georgia, John Proctor Is The Villain has found what might be the best, smartest artistic use for the many lives of Salem: The #MeToo Movement of seven years ago, when cultural reappraisals were all but demanded of even the mustiest classroom lessons. The girls are brainy Beth (Fina Strazza); home-troubled Ivy (Maggie Kuntz); Nell (Morgan Scott), newly arrived from Atlanta and the only Black student in the class; Raelynn (Amalia Yoo) a sensitive kid grieving a betrayal by her boyfriend Lee (Hagan Oliveras) and her lifelong best friend Shelby ( Sadie Sink). Title: John Proctor Is The Villain Venue: Broadway’s Booth Theatre Written By: Kimberly Belflower Directed By: Danya Taymor Cast: Sadie Sink, Nihar Duvvuri, Gabriel Ebert, Molly Griggs, Maggie Kuntz, Hagan Oliveras, Morgan Scott, Fina Strazza, Amalia Yoo Running Time: 1 hr 45 min (no intermission)
