Two-time Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson makes their Broadway debuts in spring 2026.
Nominated for Best New Play at the Olivier Awards, with Brody also earning a nomination for Best Actor, THE FEAR OF 13 is based on the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris. Written by Lindsey Ferrentino (Ugly Lies the Bone) and directed by Tony Award™ winner David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck), this gripping exploration of truth, justice, and the chasm between them will leave you hanging on every word.

Performances are scheduled to begin March 19, 2026.
