Slave Play

by Jeremy O. Harris

The Old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation – in the breeze, in the cotton fields… and in the crack of the whip. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. Jeremy O. Harris's Slave Play rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender and sexuality in twenty-first-century America. It opened at New York Theatre Workshop in November 2018, and transferred to Broadway the following year. 'The single most daring thing I've seen in a theater in a long time' --New York Times

[Jeff Hoffman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not one single person has rated this book besides me? Weird. Maybe because it’s a UK edition? Never saw this play when it was running in LA, so I got the book. A challenging, inspiring, moving, funny piece of theater. My shopworn list of adjectives does not do this play justice.
