Kimberly Belflower’s John Proctor Is the Villain, now being presented by Kansas City Repertory Theatre at the downtown Copaken Stage, has so far traveled a remarkable road.  I Imagine Kimberly as Luke Skywalker with a laser pistol taking comic potshots at almost everyone in her galaxy. But there is something darker going on in this play too
