Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson are making their Broadway debuts later this year in the play The Fear of 13 and they’re starring in a movie-style trailer to promote the show!

The play tells the true story of the first person sentenced to death in Pennsylvania to be exonerated by DNA evidence.

“They just needed someone to blame. I lived in silence for more than two years. Now even the truth sounds like a lie. I’ve never been in love before, but I know what this is… I forgive you. For killing me,” Adrien‘s character says in the voiceover in the trailer.

The Fear of 13 follows the story of Nick Yarris, who spends more than two decades on death row for a murder he insists he did not commit. Through a series of prison visits with a volunteer named Jackie, Nick traces a life shaped by impulse and consequence. As Nick and Jackie’s conversations deepen, the line between witness and participant blurs, forcing both to confront what justice demands, what belief requires, and the perilous distance between true freedom and the illusion of self determination.

Adrien and Tessa will begin preview performances on Thursday, March 19 with an official opening night set for Wednesday, April 15 at the James Earl Jones Theatre in New York City. Tickets are on sale now!
