The full cast has been announced for The Fear Of 13 with performances beginning on 4 October.

Based on the remarkable true story of Nick Yarris, The Fear of 13 tells the harrowing tale of how a routine traffic stop spiralled into a conviction for murder. After spending 22 years on Death Row, Nick takes the extraordinary step of petitioning the court—not for an appeal, but to set his execution date. The Fear of 13 reveals the astonishing events that unfolded next.
Directed by Justin Martin, The Fear of 13 will run at the Donmar Warehouse from 4 October until 30 November 2024.
