The critically acclaimed Broadway play John Proctor Is the Villain, which just earned seven Tony nominations, is inspired by The Crucible. But the show, written by Kimberly Belflower, doesn't confine its references to Puritans and midcentury theater. It also features a killer needle drop to Lorde's 2017 banger "Green Light."
The track is just as important to Belflower's story as Miller's classic is—and the result is a perfect and beguiling blend of pop culture old and new.
