When John Proctor is the Villain opened on Broadway last year, it lit a fire. Kimberly Belflower’s response to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is more than play, it’s a movement. After shaking things up overseas, the piece is taking on London now (in the same venue that saw the U.K. premiere of Miller’s chef d’oeuvre seven decades ago almost to the day!) with its full creative team in tow and a brand new cast.

All new rehearsal photos have been released for the UK transfer of one of the most anticipated shows of the year, the seven-time Tony Award-nominated, John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower.

The cast has been revealed for the UK transfer of John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower, directed by Tony Award-winner Danya Taymor. It arrives from a run on Broadway and plays at the Royal Court.

Watching Mary Page Marlowe you feel like you're constantly trying to piece together a mosaic of one woman’s life, glimpsed in snapshots, lit by moments of clarity, yet never forming a complete picture. Under Matthew Warchus’s direction, in his final season as Artistic Director at the Old Vic, the production stages Tracy Letts’s play non-chronologically, across 11 scenes spanning seven decades, that show Mary at various ages. 

The Old Vic has announced the full cast and further creative team for the UK premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning Tracy Letts’ play Mary Page Marlowe. Learn more here!
