This world premiere is expected to draw massive attention, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the 'Iron Man' star take the stage for the first time.
'McNeal' follows the life of its titular character, a writer who becomes increasingly dependent on artificial intelligence. The thought-provoking plot delves into themes of creativity, free will, and the unintended consequences of relying on technology.
Downey Jr.'s character showcases his unique gift for writing, but as he begins to struggle with his latest piece, he starts questioning whether his work is truly authentic. This psychological conflict marks the beginning of his steep descent into an existential crisis.

Ayad Akhtar's innovative new play, 'McNeal', invites us to question the fundamental aspects of artistic creation in the modern digital age. It showcases what happens when the organic human experience collides with today's AI technology, in a visual feast filled with drama and intrigue.
Directed by Bartlett Sher, 'McNeal' boasts a powerful collaboration between director and playwright as well as Robert Downey Jr.'s magnetic presence. All eyes are now on the Lincoln Center Theater's Vivian Beaumont as Broadway enthusiasts eagerly await Downey Jr.'s show-stealing Broadway debut.
