The production will head to the Wyndham’s Theatre for a strictly limited run from the 2nd February until the 24th April 2027.
It has been announced that Kimberly Belflower’s John Proctor is the Villain will transfer to the West End next year, following its run on both Broadway and at London’s Royal Court Theatre.
With tickets on sale now, casting for the West End run has yet to be announced.
Playwright Kimberly Belflower and director 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.
