Slave Play cover

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 21st-century America.


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


"Uncomfortably funny and gruesomely sexy. Should you laugh or keep quiet? You can't know until the ordeal is done - and even then the uncertainty may linger for days." - Vinson Cunningham The New Yorker


"Wisdom and timeliness ripple through Slave Play. This play is lit."

- Soraya Nadia McDonald The Undefeated
