MCNEAL

This new play by Ayad Akhtar, directed by Bartlett Sher, will star Robert Downey Jr. making his Broadway debut in the title role!

Good writers borrow, great writers steal. Jacob McNeal is a great writer, one of our greatest, a perpetual candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. But McNeal also has an estranged son, a new novel, old axes to grind and an unhealthy fascination with Artificial Intelligence. MCNEAL is a startling and wickedly smart examination of the inescapable humanity – and increasing inhumanity – of the stories we tell.
