Two-time Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody to make Broadway debut in THE FEAR OF 13
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, at the James Earl Jones Theatre from 19 March.
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, 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.
