Brody and Thompson to Lead Broadway Run in The Fear of 13

Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson will make their Broadway debuts in Lindsey Ferrentino’s The Fear of 13, a 16-week limited run directed by David Cromer at the James Earl Jones Theatre, with previews starting March 19 and opening night on April 15. The play, based on David Sington’s documentary about Nick Yarris, a death-row inmate exonerated by DNA, is produced in partnership with the Innocence Project; Brody portrays Yarris. The production previously played London’s Donmar Warehouse in 2024, with Ferrentino and Brody both Olivier-nominated for that work.
