Rising-star playwright JeremyOHarris will make his Broadway debut this fall when his provocative downtown sensation, SlavePlay, moves to the Golden Theatre
One of the most talked-about and polarizing new works of the 2018-19 off-Broadway season, Jeremy O. Harris'Seaview Productions, Troy Carter, Level Forward and Nine Stories, the production company founded by Jake Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker, will bring the play to Broadway's Golden Theatre in a strictly limited 17-week engagement, beginning previews Sept. 10 ahead of an Oct. 6 opening.
"During my very short time being a professional writer, the world I thought I'd inhabit was one at odds with a commercial theater landscape," said Harris in a statement. "So to see that this play,, that interrogates the traumas Americans have inherited from the legacy of chattel slavery and colonization has a place in the canon of work that has made its way to Broadway is both exhilarating and humbling.
Accessibility is being made a priority on the transfer, with producers confirming that 10,000 tickets will be made available at just $39 each throughout the run. While the play's ensemble at NYTW included Ato Blankson-Wood, James Cusati-Moyer, Sullivan Jones, Chalia La Tour, Irene Sofia Lucio, Annie McNamara, Paul Alexander Nolan and Teyonah Parris, casting for the Broadway transfer is to be announced in the coming weeks.
