JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN Will Transfer to the West End

Kimberly Belflower's JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN, directed by Tony Award-winner Danya Taymor, will transfer to the West End, following a sold out run at The Royal Court Theatre. It will play a strictly limited 12-week season at Wyndham's Theatre, a Delfont Mackintosh Theatre, from Tuesday 2 February until Saturday 24 April 2027 with tickets on sale at 2.00pm tomorrow, Tuesday 21 April 2026. Casting for the West End transfer is to be announced.

Kimberly Belflower and Danya Taymor said, "Bringing John Proctor is the Villain to the West End is a true honour and profound joy for us, especially on the heels of its very witchy UK debut in the Royal Court's 70th anniversary season. The play has been igniting London audiences, and we have fallen deeply in love with this great city. We are so grateful that our spells worked and more people will be able to see the play here—and come back again and again—at the incredible Wyndham's Theatre in 2027."

One small town. A soundtrack of pop, adrenaline and barely-contained rage, five young women reveal something darker is stirring. As long-buried truths rise to the surface, they begin to question everything and take control of the narrative for themselves.

The production offers a poised and piercing exploration of girlhood, power, and the courage to question what we think we know.

JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN premiered on Broadway in March 2025 at the Booth Theatre, where it was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Play. It had its London premiere at The Royal Court Theatre on 20 March 2026 where it continues to play to sold out audiences until this Saturday 25 April.
