Whishaw is resting in his dressing room at the Walter Kerr theatre on Broadway; it is a few hours before the evening’s performance of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, directed by the brainy Belgian artist Ivo van Hove. Starring opposite Sophie Okonedo as his wife and Saoirse Ronan as his former mistress, Whishaw plays the anguished hero John Proctor, a just though morally compromised man, ensnared by the witch trials in colonial Salem.
