After a celebrated London run, the show lands on Broadway with Adrien Brody - two-time Academy Award winner - making his much-anticipated debut. Written by Lindsey Ferrentino and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer, this play blends dark humor, raw emotion, and razor-sharp dialogue. Nominated for Best New Play and Best Actor at the Olivier Awards, The Fear of 13 is essential for fans of true crime, legal drama, and powerful storytelling.

The Story

Nick Yarris, condemned to death for a murder he insists he didn’t commit, recounts his life through intense prison conversations with a volunteer named Jackie. As their meetings deepen, the boundaries between observer and participant blur, forcing both to confront the meaning of justice, belief, and the fragile line between freedom and fate. With every revelation, the stakes rise - will truth or trust prevail, and what price will each pay for it? ---
