Jeremy O. Harris is finally set to make his UK theatre debut next month, bringing “Daddy” to London’s Almeida Theatre after years of coronavirus-related delays. Tackling issues of race, love, queerness, and kink, the prequel to the American playwright’s Broadway hit Slave Play originally debuted in New York in 2019, dubbed “an explosive and blistering melodrama”.

Written by Harris during a residency at the famed MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, “Daddy” follows the story of a young, Black, gay artist named Franklin, and his relationship with an older, white art collector – and Franklin’s sugar daddy – Andre.

The UK iteration of the three-act play will star Terique Jarrett, Claes Bang and Sharlene Whyte, with Danya Taymor directing, and will run at the Almeida Theatre until 30 April, 2022. 

You can sign up for the chance to see “Daddy” below. Winners will be able to have a choice to attend the show on either Saturday 2, Monday 4 or Tuesday 5 April.
