Slave Play

Slave Play – Shocking, eye-opening, award-winning

This is the most Tony-nominated play of all time. Welcome to Jeremy O. Harris's Slave Play, a piece he wrote while still at college that ended up attracting 12 Tony nominations at the 74th Tony Awards. Now it’s headed for the UK for a strictly limited season starring most of the original Broadway cast and directed by Robert O’Hara. This is a seriously impactful play about race, identity, and sexuality in 21st century America. It features Fisayo Akinade (The Crucible, Heartstopper), Kit Harington (Game of Thrones, True West), Aaron Heffernan (Brassic, Atlanta), and Denzel Washington's daughter Olivia Washington (I Am Virgo, Breaking).

They’re joined by James Cusati-Moyer (Six Degrees of Separation, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Chalia La Tour (The Good Fight, Elementary), Annie McNamara (Orange is the New Black, Iowa), and Irene Sofia Lucio (The Americans, Wit). The action follows three interracial couples where the black partners no longer feel sexually attracted to their white other halves. They apply for a new, unique kind of therapy called Antebellum Sexual Performance Therapy, involving time spent at an old slave plantation where everyone wears 1850s costume. Afterwards, when the real therapy begins, the cracks start to show. Brilliant, clever, shocking and unforgettable.
