Jeremy O. Harris

Jeremy O. Harris is a Black queer American playwright and writer who made a seismic impact on Broadway with Slave Play (2019), which received twelve Tony Award nominations — a record for a play — and sparked intense debate about race, desire, therapy, and the legacy of slavery. Harris contributed to HBO's Euphoria as a writer and co-produced it as an executive producer. He studied at Yale School of Drama and has spoken about his identity as a queer Black playwright working in a tradition that has rarely centered those identities simultaneously.
