Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet joined Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner for a Sunday Broadway outing to see The Fear of 13, Kardashian’s co-produced play about Nick Yarris’s wrongful conviction; Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson star, with the production partnering with the Innocence Project as part of Kardashian’s criminal-justice reform advocacy.
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.

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.
