  3. American Son


American Son is a nail-biting story that takes place in real-time in the waiting room of a Miami police station where, in the middle of the night, the parents of an African-American teenager anxiously await news of their son, who may have been picked up by the police. This breathtaking drama looks at subtle, and not-so-subtle, racial dynamicsin American culture.We have been eager to finally bring this compelling and important new play to The New Vic stage since the production was halted in 2020, said ETCs Artistic Director, Jonathan Fox. The questions it raises about race in todays America are even more vital and urgent than two years ago, and the playwright, Christopher Demos-Brown, has been working with us to incorporate events of the past two years. We have assembled an extraordinary cast and design team to bring this suspenseful and riveting work to life on The New Vic stage. American Son had a successful run at the Booth Theatre on Broadway, directed by Kenny Leon, and starring Kerry Washington, Steven Pasquale, Jeremy Jordan, and Eugene Lee. The play was adapted as a feature film on Netflix.
