Slave Play Tickets

The most ground-breaking, controversial, and Tony-nominated play of all time is coming to London. A huge hit with Broadway audiences, people were astounded by this stark look at gender, sexuality, and race. Jeremy O. Harris' masterpiece arrives at the Noel Coward Theatre this year for a strictly limited run.

What is Slave Play about?

Set on a plantation in the South, Slave Play centres around three interracial couples who undergo therapy sessions aimed at addressing their sexual dysfunction. As the therapy unfolds, the couples confront their own racial identities, histories, and desires, ultimately delving into the complexities of race relations in contemporary society. Slave Play will challenge audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about systemic racism, while also interrogating the intersections of desire, consent, and power dynamics within intimate relationships.

The play earned 12 Tony Award nominations during its run on Broadway. Premiering at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2018, writer Jeremy O. Harris and director Robert O'Hara will now bring their sell-out play to London and it will be as popular (if not more) when it opens here.

An incredible London cast is planned for Slave Play's West End run, including Fisayo Akinade and Kit Harington. Akinade is best known for his work on Netflix's Heartstopper and his stage credits include the recent production of The Crucible at the National Theatre. Harington was known for his role as Jon Snow in the HBO series Games of Thrones.

Joining them on the West End are Aaron Heffernan and Olivia Washington alongside James Cusati-Moyer, Chalia La Tour, Annie McNamara, and Irene Sofia Lucio who will reprise their roles from the original Broadway production.

The hottest contemporary show to hit London recently, only plays at the Noel Coward Theatre for a limited time this year. With its popularity on Broadway sealed, Slave Play will certainly expose audiences to some great conversations.
