The producers of Slave Play have revealed the full cast and creative team for the drama, ahead of its UK premiere at the Noel Coward Theatre in June.
Jeremy O. Harris’s acclaimed play will be directed by Robert O’Hara (The Continuum), and plays the Noel Coward Theatre from 29 June to 21 September 2024.
Already announced are the lead cast of Slave Play including Kit Harington (Game of Thrones, True West) as Jim, Olivia Washington (I’m a Virgo, Breaking) as Kaneisha, 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.
The understudies are Troy Alexander, Dimitri Gripari, Maite Jauregui, Prince Kundai, and Malikah Mcherrin-Cobb.

The drama by award-winner Jeremy O. Harris (The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, Euphoria) 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.
Slave Play’s London premiere follows successful runs at the New York Theatre Workshop and Broadway’s Golden Theatre, both directed by Robert O’Hara, where it was nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 2021, a Broadway record.
Slave Play is running from 29 June to 21 September 2024 at the Noel Coward Theatre.
