First Production Since Broadway! Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the best and most provocative new works to show up on Broadway in years,” Slave Play is a broad send-up of race and sex in 21st Century America. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems over at the McGregor Plantation, where three interracial couples rip open history at the intersection of race, love, sex, and sexuality. “A ballsy, often ferociously funny original work,” Slave Play is “a welcome blast of defiantly fresh air.” (The Hollywood Reporter).
