"The Good John Proctor" was named one of The New Yorker’s “Top 10 Best Plays of 2023.” The play takes inspiration from Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and brings Monahon’s distinctive combination of historical reimagining, dark humor, and theatrical invention to one of the most famous stories in the American dramatic canon.
