“THE SINGLE MOST DARING THING SEEN IN A THEATER IN A LONG TIME”
– NEW YORK TIMES

Touted as one of the most “exciting and controversial plays to hit Broadway in over a decade, “SLAVE PLAY by Jeremy O’ Harris is receiving the attention of many along with star-studded support amidst preview showings! The highly anticipated play opens to the public on October 6th!

About Slave Play: 
The old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation—in the breeze, in the cotton fields…and in the crack of the whip. It’s an antebellum fever-dream, where fear and desire entwine in the looming shadow of the Master’s House. Jim trembles as Kaneisha handles melons in the cottage, Alana perspires in time with the plucking of Phillip’s fiddle in the boudoir, while Dustin cowers at the heel of Gary’s big, black boot in the barn. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems.

In this provocative and explosive new play, Jeremy O. Harris rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender and sexuality in 21st century America. Obie Award winner Robert O’Hara directs.

SLAVE PLAY is the recipient of the Rosa Parks Playwriting Award, the Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Award, The Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences and the 2018 Paula Vogel Award.
