McNeal

Broadway
Play
Original

Academy Award-winner Robert Downey Jr. will make his Broadway debut in Ayad Akhtar's new play McNeal. Lincoln Center Theater is presenting this play as part of its 40th Anniversary season.



SYNOPSIS:

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. Pulitzer Prize-winner Ayad Akhtar’s new play is a startling and wickedly smart examination of the inescapable humanity – and increasing inhumanity – of the stories we tell.
