Here's your first look at The Fear of 13 in rehearsals.
The inaugural production in Tim Sheader's first season as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse, The Fear of 13 begins performances on 4 October.
Directed by Justin Martin, the cast includes Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody (The Pianist), Nana Mensah (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), Michael Fox (Othello, Riverside Studios), Aidan Kelly (The Man Who Had All the Luck, Donmar Warehouse), Posi Morakinyo (For Black Boys.., Garrick Theatre), Cyril Nri (Further than the Furthest Thing, Young Vic), Ferdy Roberts (Kyoto, The RSC), Tommy Sim'aan (A View From The Bridge, Headlong) and Matt McClure (Patriots, Noel Coward Theatre).
Based on the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris, The Fear of 13 explores how a routine stop turned into a conviction for murder, resulting in him spending 22 years on Death Row. It tells how he finally petitioned the court to ask for his execution date and what happened next.
The Fear of 13 will play at the Donmar Warehouse from 4 October - 30 November 2024.
