Description

Jeremy O. Harris, playwright of the critically acclaimed “Slave Play,” talks to Jordan Klepper about making his directorial debut with the new HBO documentary “Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play” and how he used the film as a platform for “theater supremacy.” Harris also discusses bringing “Slave Play” to London, the type of uncomfortable experience he wants audiences to have at the play, and the importance of preserving the live theater medium, for both creatives and audiences. #DailyShow #JeremyOHarris #JordanKlepper Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/?ftag=PPM-05-10aei0b Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral Watch full episodes of The Daily Show: https://www.cc.com/shows/the-daily-show About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

What Jeremy O. Harris said made me look up our local theatre troupe. (sp?) We definitely live in a society that is out of touch with itself. I will make an effort to go and see an actual play! Thanks. I get what you said. And appreciatte people that put it all out there! :)

While I look forward to seeing one of Jeremy O. Harris' plays, I'm not sure it can be more fun than seeing his interview. He's a riot, and I adore him.
