Fear of 13: Solid Performances, Quiet Drama on Broadway
TL;DR
Based on Nick Yarris’s wrongful imprisonment and eventual exoneration, The Fear of 13 arrives on Broadway as a dignified, largely conventional prison drama directed by David Cromer. Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson give strong, watchable performances, but the script remains perfunctory, with an underdeveloped Jacki and a rushed middle-to-end that undercuts emotional stakes. The result is moving and respectable, yet not as piercing or inventive as the true story it’s built on.
