Young audiences in London have a golden opportunity to experience a major Broadway sensation at a fraction of the usual cost. The Royal Court Theatre, in partnership with Time Out, is offering 2,000 exclusive tickets priced at just £25 for those under 35 to see the acclaimed production of 'John Proctor is the Villain'.
A Modern Reimagining of a Classic
This spring, the prestigious Royal Court will host Kimberley Belflower's sharp and witty play, which stormed Broadway in 2025. The production is a clever, pop culture-infused response to Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible', transposing the action to a contemporary high school in rural Georgia. The narrative follows five female students whose study of Miller's classic becomes eerily relevant as they debate whether the play's supposed hero, John Proctor, is in fact the villain.
Fuelled by pop music, optimism, and rage, the characters expose the dark secrets of their small town. The London transfer will be the Tony-nominated staging by director Danya Taymor, featuring a cast yet to be announced, as part of the Royal Court's landmark seventieth-anniversary season.
How to Secure Your Discounted Tickets
With tickets expected to sell quickly, this special offer provides a vital chance for younger theatre fans to secure seats. To access the £25 tickets, interested individuals must register online before midnight on Friday 30 January 2026. A unique booking code will then be sent out at midday on Tuesday 3 February.
There are important criteria to note for this promotion:
