Slave Play

Mark my words: the extremely buzzy Slave Play will go down in theater history. Playwright Jeremy O. Harris has turned Broadway turned on its head.

Broadway is BUZZING with excitement about @SlavePlayBway! I went to the opening night red carpet and met my new idol, playwright @jeremyoharris, and he might just be the coolest person who has ever lived or ever will?!? 😍

Going in, you don’t want to know what Slave Play is about. Even as someone who hates surprises, in general, let me tell you: do zero research about this hilariously uncomfortable show before you see it to make its impact all the more effective. Trust me on this.

All you need to know that it’s an extraordinarily brilliant piece of writing that is made even more extraordinary by Robert O’Hara’s brave direction and a cast of eight with zero weak links, which means each aspect of this production is even better than the next.

You’ll leave Broadway’s Golden Theatre stunned and needing time to process what you just experienced. That is, if you’re smart and get tickets now. This smart AF show is ALL THE RAGE.

P/S Again, Clint Ramos: please design every set forever, thanks!

Slave Play runs on Broadway through January 19, 2020.
