About The Fear of 13

Get tickets to The Fear of 13 to see this heart-pounding crime drama starring two-time Academy Award winner Adrien Brody (The Brutalist, The Pianist). Lindsey Ferrentino's The Fear of 13 on Broadway comes to New York City after its critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-nominated London bow. Tony Award winner David Cromer (The Band's Visit) directs this incredible true story making its New York premiere.

Golden Globe, Emmy, and BAFTA Award nominee Tessa Thompson (Hedda, His & Hers) co-stars with Brody in The Fear of 13 in New York, which tells the real-life story of Nick Yarris, who spends more than 20 years on death row for a murder he insists he did not commit. Follow Yarris on his path toward justice and freedom, which included a revelatory breakthrough for death row inmates thanks to DNA testing.
