Slave Play at The Garden Theater

Book by Jeremy O. Harris

Directed by Nakeisha Daniel

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.
