An audacious new play that explores the ways in which historical trauma affects the present-day intersections of race, gender, and sexuality.

""The single most daring thing I've seen in a theater in a long time."" -- Wesley Morris, New York Times 

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. Slave Play rips apart history to shed new light on the nexus of race, gender, and sexuality in twenty-first-century America.

Reviews for Slave Play

This is a demanding play, and one of the things that it demands is the audience's discomfort. But that discomfort is productive -- and in the end, it brings its own satisfactions. It creates a space in which the messiness and rawness of race and power and fantasy and trauma can unspool into a chaotic churn of impressions. --Vox [A] willfully provocative, gaudily transgressive and altogether staggering new play. --New York Times This wildly imaginative work asserts itself with a daringness rarely seen on our stages these days. --Hollywood Reporter There's delicious danger in truly not knowing what might happen next, and Slave Play is all about that collision between what's terrifying and what's tantalizing. --New York Magazine
