Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson-starred The Fear of 13 has shortened its Broadway run, with the final two weeks removed from sale and the last performance moved up to June 28; the production, despite its cast, received two Tony nominations (Best Lighting Design of a Play and Best Sound Design of a Play) but did not win, losing those categories to Death of a Salesman.
Adrien Brody stars as death-row inmate Nick Yarris in Lindsey Ferrentino’s The Fear of 13, based on David Sington’s documentary, on Broadway’s James Earl Jones Theatre. With Tessa Thompson as a compassionate prison volunteer, the play probes the tension between listening and verifying as Jacki’s growing involvement veers into reporting and advocacy. The production largely orbits Brody’s singular presence, and while his performance is gripping, the script sometimes narrows its reach, leaving the audience hovering in his head rather than branching out into broader dramatic territory.
Adrien Brody delivers a gripping, fully committed performance as Nick Yarris in Lindsey Ferrentino’s The Fear of 13, based on a 2015 documentary, but the Broadway transfer directed by David Cromer is hampered by a talky, narration-heavy script, stiff chemistry with Tessa Thompson, and staging that feels ill‑suited for the material, resulting in a nearly two-hour, emotionally flat production despite the real-life significance and a standout moment from Ephraim Sykes.
Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson deliver dynamic performances as Nick Yarris and his advocate in The Fear of 13, a Broadway adaptation of a death-row story, but the play’s tonal swings between horror and humor and its rapid lifeline compression lead to uneven pacing.

Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson give affecting Broadway debuts in Lindsey Ferrentino’s The Fear of 13, a docu-inspired drama about a falsely accused death-row inmate. The play powerfully conveys the slow grind of justice through time-jumps and stark staging, though some prison-trope visuals and a late reveal feel overwrought. Overall, it’s a strong, imperfect meditation on wrongful conviction, anchored by Brody’s intense, vulnerable performance.
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.
