John Proctor Is the Villain

In rural Georgia at the height of the #MeToo Movement, a high school English class is studying the classic of the American “Red Scare”, The Crucible. Against a backdrop of Lorde, Lizzo, and witch hunts, the half-century-old play suddenly feels a little too close for comfort. Heroes come crashing down and young people find their voices in this new comedy about power, sex, scandal, and who gets to tell the story.

Contains language, including derogatory words about women, and other content recommended for mature audiences. The play addresses sexual content including harassment, assault, and misogyny.
