"[A] willfully provocative, gaudily transgressive and altogether staggering new play."-- "New York Times"

"Supercharged, fearsome, and terribly funny."--Sara Holdren "New York"

"This wildly imaginative work asserts itself with a daringness rarely seen on our stages these days."-- "Hollywood Reporter"

"This is a demanding play, and one of the things that it demands is the audience's discomfort. But that discomfort is productive -- and in the end, it brings its own satisfactions. It creates a space in which the messiness and rawness of race and power and fantasy and trauma can unspool into a chaotic churn of impressions."-- "Vox"

"Jeremy O. Harris is the theater world's vital new voice."--Raven Smith "GQ"

"Slave Play is funny, probing and, at times, disturbingly sexy...it asks a lot of its spectators, and has a lot to give in return."--Adam Feldman "Time Out New York"

"Uncomfortably funny and gruesomely sexy."--Vinson Cunningham "New Yorker"

"The most radical Broadway play in years. A shot across the bow of the Great White Way."--Chris Jones "Chicago Tribune"

"Slave Play offers some of the most stunning theatricality of the year."--Peter Marks "Washington Post"
