'The first thing you should know is that this is true. It's what actually happened.
I know it seems like it's a story – inside of a story – inside of a story 
– but that's how it is for most people. At least the ones in here.'

Nick's got a story to tell you. About how a routine traffic stop turned into a conviction for murder. About how he spent the next twenty-two years on Death Row. About how he finally petitioned the court, seeking not an appeal, but for his execution date. And about what happened next…

Based on the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris – and on David Sington's documentary film about him –  Lindsey Ferrentino's play The Fear of 13 was first performed at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2024, directed by Justin Martin and starring Adrien Brody.

This edition of the play contains an exclusive afterword by Nick Yarris about what he learned living on Death Row for over two decades.

Lindsey Ferrentino is an American playwright and screenwriter whose work – including Ugly Lies the Bone, Amy and the Orphans and The Queen of Versailles, among others – have been performed to great acclaim around the world.
