The play that has captivated Broadway this season has been John Proctor Is the Villain. And if you didn’t have the chance to catch it on Broadway (there is still time), you have one more big chance: A film adaptation!
The play, which was written by Kimberly Belflower, takes place in a small town in Georgia. Shelby (played originally by Sadie Sink) is a young girl who slept with her best friend’s boyfriend and her friends think she skipped town because of it. Throughout the piece, we learn what really happened, explore the themes of The Crucible, and ultimately embrace the importance of girlhood and friendship. It is emotionally charged and a play that I left sobbed and haven’t been the same since.
