Review: JOHN PROCTOR IS A VILLAIN at Kansas City Repertory Theatre
by Alan Portner - Oct 12, 2026
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It is fitting that a play about questioning the stories we inherit has a story of its own worth revisiting. 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

Review: JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN at TPAC's Johnson Theatre
by Catherine Burford - Oct 5, 2026
Like many students, I had to read The Crucible in high school. I may not be the biggest fan of Arthur Miller’s classic work, but I’m open to discussion on it. When I first heard about Kimberly Belflower’s John Proctor Is The Villain, I was curious to see where this title was going.

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: RIP HER TO SHREDS, Underbelly Cowgate
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 12, 2026
Some plays feel like direct responses to other, more famous, more accomplished plays. There’s a lot of John Proctor Is The Villain in Rip Her To Shreds, but we’re not entirely sure we mean it in a good way. Like Kimberly Belflower’s, Isabelle Barbier’s drama deals with female rage and social pressure while winking blatantly at The Crucible. Unfortunately, at this stage, hers is too messy, chaotic, loud, superficial, and immature to be of any consequence.
