Slave Play, the ground-breaking play by Tony Award nominee Jeremy O. Harris under the direction of Tony Award nominee Robert O’Hara, is back on Broadway at the August Wilson Theatre. The production celebrates opening night Thursday, December 2, and we’ve got a special look at the return engagement.
The play is led by returning original Broadway and NYTW cast members Tony Award nominee Ato Blankson-Wood, Tony Award nominee Chalia La Tour, Irene Sofia Lucio, Tony Award nominee Annie McNamara, and Paul Alexander Nolan. Antoinette Crowe-Legacy plays Kaneisha, a role Harris wrote for the actress when he was a student at Yale School of Drama and which she originated in Slave Play’s first developmental production in 2017 as part of Yale’s Langston Hughes Festival. Also joining this Broadway run are Devin Kawaoka as Dustin and Jonathan Chad Higginbotham as Phillip. Slave Play features understudies Eboni Flowers, Blake Russell, Luigi Sottile, Elizabeth Stahlmann, and Galen J. Williams.
Slave Play began performances Tuesday, November 23, ahead of an official opening night of Thursday, December 2, for a strictly limited eight-week engagement through Sunday, January 23, 2022.
