One Tantalizing Story Is Taking Broadway by Storm

SLAVE PLAY stunned audiences

with a sold-out run at New York

Theatre Workshop. Now, it’s coming

to Broadway for a strictly limited

engagement. Written by Jeremy O.

Harris, “one of the most promising

playwrights of his generation”

(Vogue), this “dazzling mix of satire

and psychodrama” (The New York

Times) is directed by two-time NAACP

and OBIE Award winner Robert O’Hara.

At the MacGregor Plantation, nothing

is as it seems, and yet everything is as

it seems. Slave Play is an antebellum

fever-dream as three interracial

couples converge to rip open race,

love, sex, and sexuality in 21st-century

America. Don’t miss this “furiously

entertaining...altogether staggering

new play” (The New York Times).

The single most

daring thing I’ve

seen in a theater

in a long time.”
