McReele

Anthony Mackie stars in the world premiere of Stephen Belber’s McReele, staged by Tony Award© nominated director Doug Hughes, and presented by the Roundabout Theatre Company. The cast includes Anthony Mackie, Michael O’Keefe, Jodi Long, Portia, and Henry Strozier.

This provocative new drama pits social responsibility against personal redemption. When Delaware journalist Rick Dayne meets death row inmate Darius McReele, the articles Rick writes eventually lead to Darius’s exoneration from an 18 year old murder conviction. Darius’s sympathetic past and magnetic personality make him a darling of the lecture circuit, leading to national attention and political viability. With his past and future in the balance, Darius walks the line, as Rick seeks to determine which way he’ll ultimately fall.
