Charles McNulty posted on Twitter about hearing a major playwright will finally be having their Broadway premiere, with a major decorated actor coming on board. Any rumors/speculation/info on what it could be? Rob Weinert-Kendt followed up with info about Audra maybe doinf Ohio State Murders which would track.

Hmm, Amy Herzog? Annie Baker? Branden Jacob-Jenkins? Feel like it'll be a lot easier to guess the playwright and then the actor, but it's all too vague.

I'm 75% sure it's Adrienne Kennedy's Ohio State Murders starring Audra McDonald.

It boggles the mind to think she has never had a piece produced on Broadway; she is one of the most compelling Black female playwrights of the last 50 years! Long, long overdue.
