‘John Proctor is the Villain’ with Sadie Sink is lively if predictable drama

I wish “John Proctor” made its very fair point about girls forging their own narratives with more ambivalence and less certitude, especially in its less than credible last few minutes, which you could subtitle “Abigail’s revenge,” or even that it gave Miller some consideration of how things have changed over time, not just from the witch trials to the 1950s but from then to now. But then when you’re all about making sure folks now see an old hero as a new villain, that does not serve your purpose.
