Jeremy O. Harris, “a major new voice in the American theater” (Chicago Tribune), has brought back to Broadway the “raw, revelatory, and revolutionary play” (The Daily Beast) that garnered a record-breaking 12 Tony Award® nominations. Directed by two-time NAACP and Obie Award® winner Robert O’Hara, SLAVE PLAY is “one of the best and most provocative new works to show up on Broadway in years” (The New York Times). At the MacGregor Plantation, nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. It’s an antebellum fever-dream as three interracial couples converge to rip open history at the intersection of race, love, sex, and sexuality in 21st-century America. Don’t miss this production that “reimagines the possibilities of what theater can give us” (The New York Times).

Fresh from graduation from the Yale School of Drama, Jeremy O. Harris made his Broadway debut with Slave Play, a piece that could very minimally be described as provocative, in 2019. Directed by Robert O’Hara, the play originally premiered at New York Theatre Workshop and catapulted Harris to toast of the town status before he had even finished school. Now, the production returns to Broadway for a second engagement, this time at the August Wilson Theatre. Get Slave Play tickets on TodayTix.
The Slave Play play sits at the unusual precipice where antebellum meets erotica meets the Old South — or does it? Set on the MacGregor Plantation, the play will safely take you one way before rocking your world and taking you another. If that sounds vague, it is, because it is impossible to talk about this unprecedented piece without spoilers. Instead, just know that it blends potent commentary on race and sexuality with satire and some mind-bending thrills.
17+. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
