Innocent on death row, based on a true story!
How does the human mind survive extreme isolation and the constant threat of death when one is innocent but found guilty? Golden Globe winner Adrien Brody and BAFTA nominee Tessa Thompson make their Broadway debut in this heart-wrenching adaptation of David Sington's 2015 documentary of the same name, which explores essential questions that must be asked when examining judicial injustice.
About The Fear of 13
The Fear of 13 tells the astonishing true story of Nick Yarris, who spent 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 show builds toward the truth of his innocence, picking apart the very system that nearly ended his life.
