Tickets at August Wilson Theatre

The August Wilson Theatre was built in 1925 by the Theatre Guild to house its own productions under the name Guild Theatre. It was extensively renovated in the 1950s and renamed The ANTA. In 1981 it was renamed The Virginia in honor of Virginia M. Biger, who co-owned Jujamcyn Theaters.

In 2005 it took its current name after the playwright August Wilson. It was the first time that a Broadway theater had been named after an African-American.

Story for Slave Play

Over one explosive weekend, three interracial couples inhabit the confines of a sprawling Southern plantation. As the heat is turned up on their volatile relationships, the line between fantasy and reality blurs and history begins to repeat itself. In this “ballsy, ferociously funny work” (Hollywood Reporter) by Jeremy O. Harris, biting satire and dark humor couple with righteous anger and raw sensuality to create “one of the best and most provocative new works to show up on Broadway in years” (The New York Times).

Critics’ Reviews for Slave Play

"Subversive, radical, dangerously delicious. This play is lit!"

Soraya Nadia McDonald, The Undefeated

"One of the best and most provocative new works to show up on Broadway in years."

The New York Times

"A funny scalding walk along the boundary between black and white America. A fascinating explosive-device of a play."

The Washington Post
