John Proctor is the Villain

[Dozer]

Anyone else seen this in London? I found it powerful, especially the final scene. A play with an impact.

Resonated strongly with some things that I witnessed at school. And of course the Crucible.

some may find it triggering.

Good performances, especially from the lead young woman, the only jarring thing was the American accents, not bad per se but not natural and given the material took away from it a little at times. Would really like to see it again with an American cast.

It is transferring to the West End for 12 weeks, which is brilliant. Recommend!

I missed it at the Royal Court but will definitely see it in the West End. I adore Donal Finn and hope he transfers with the play; I saw him in Hadestown a couple of years ago and knew he would be a star.

I'm really looking forward to this.

The cast for the west end run was released today and includes Donal Finn.

I personally didn’t like him in the role. Though am a fan of his performances in other things. Think it was a particular facial expression he wore a lot in it, too much IMO, I found it ‘samey’, also the accent, though reasonably good.

Am biased as due to the subject matter would rather an all british cast using their own accents, or an all american cast.

Perhaps @tennissquare can give a review once you’ve seen the production!

Looks like most of the same cast, who were good! Hope it does well.

I agree with the terrible accents; very distracting.
I thought the subject was fascinating and thought-provoking, but didn't massively love the play itself. I found much of the acting not great, although thought the 'new girl' was excellent – can't remember her character's name as I saw it ages ago.
Minor point, but I was also distracted by the couple who said they'd been together for quite a number of years; again, can't remember the detail, but it would have meant they'd got together at about age 11 or something. Maybe that happens and I'm just out of touch, but I didn't find it feasible.
