Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. This exciting, new, and thoughtful work nominated for 12 Tony awards, rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender and sexuality in 21st-century America. Short North Stage is pleased to present the regional premiere of this provocative and groundbreaking Broadway play.

Review: SLAVE PLAY at Short North Stage
February 05, 2023 What did our critic think of SLAVE PLAY at Short North Stage? People always ask critics two questions: “did you like it?” and “is it worth seeing?” When it comes time to discuss SLAVE PLAY, these two questions are going to be tough to answer. Did I like it? From a theatrical rubric, it checks off the boxes of fantastic acting and wonderful direction, and powerful message. However, is it enjoyable? At times yes … and sometimes it felt like a punch to the stomach.About the Theatre
