The production will transfer from London’s Donmar Warehouse to the James Earl Jones Theatre from the 19th March.
Producers Seaview, Wessex Grove, and Gavin Kalin Productions have announced that two-time Academy Award winner Adrien Brody will make his Broadway debut in Olivier Award nominee Lindsey Ferrentino’s visceral play, The Fear of 13.
Based on the documentary directed by David Sington and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer, The Fear of 13 will also star Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA Award nominee Tessa Thompson (Hedda and “His & Hers”)in her Broadway debut.
The Fear of 13 tells the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris, who spends more than two decades on death row for a murder he insists he did not commit. Through a series of prison visits with a volunteer named Jackie, Nick traces a life shaped by impulse and consequence. As Nick and Jackie’s conversations deepen, the line between witness and participant blurs, forcing both to confront what justice demands, what belief requires, and the perilous distance between true freedom and the illusion of self-determination. By turns devastating, darkly funny, and life-affirming, The Fear of 13 is a powerful exploration of truth and trust, conscience and connection.
Meanwhile, it has been announced that the production will collaborate with the Innocence Project, whose mission is to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone. Its work is guided by science and grounded in anti-racism.
With official opening night set for the 15th April, tickets for the production will officially go on sale on the 23rd January at 12pm.
