The show also stars Fisayo Akinade (The Crucible, Heartstopper) as Gary, Aaron Heffernan (Brassic, Atlanta) as Phillip, and reprising their roles from the original Broadway production, James Cusati-Moyer (Six Degrees of Separation, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) as Dustin, Chalia La Tour (The Good Fight, Elementary) as Teá, Annie McNamara (Orange is the New Black) as Alana, and Irene Sofia Lucio (The Americans, Wit) as Patricia.

Directed by Robert O’Hara (The Continuum), Slave Play started its run at the West End’s Noel Coward Theatre on 29 June, and is playing at the venue to 21 September 2024.

The show has scored great reviews from the London critics, with four star reviews from the Guardian, Evening Standard, TimeOut, FT, Independent, The Stage and the Express.

Slave Play is by award-winner Jeremy O. Harris (The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, Euphoria), and follows three interracial couples, and is billed as an explosive and provocative play that rips history apart and sheds new light on race, gender and sexuality in the 21st century.
