Lindsey Ferrentino's The Fear of 13 begins performances on Broadway March 19.
Playing the James Earl Jones Theatre, the production is set to open April 15. Directed by David Cromer, the production stars two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) and recent Golden Globe nominee Tessa Thompson (Hedda), both making their Broadway debuts leading the cast.
Based on a documentary film by David Sington, the work tracks real-world figure Nick Yarris, a man convicted of murder who then petitions the court not for an appeal, but for an execution date. See the cast and creative team discuss the new play, based on the documentary of the same name, in the video above.
