Acting alum William Appiah '24 appears in And Then There Were No More at La Mama, a new play by actor Tim Blake Nelson and directed by Mark Wing-Davey, which runs through November 2, 2025.
The play, whose cast includes Elizabeth Marvel (The Meyerowitz Stories, House of Cards), follows the story of a lawyer—played by Marvel—representing a client deemed beyond rehabilitation. When the client is sentenced to execution via a new machine purported to execute without pain, the lawyer—like all other characters in the play, she is never named—is forced to contend with the idea of justice in a criminal justice system “even more out of whack than our current one,” according to The New York Times.
And Then There Were No More was included in The New York Times’ list of fifteen off-Broadway shows to see this September, and will be Appiah’s off-Broadway debut. View ticket information.
While at Columbia, William Appiah performed in F*cking A, Henry VI: Civil Wars, The Brothers Size, Fool for Love, The Piano Lesson (Lymon), Stick Fly (Flip), Taming of the Shrew (Petruchio), among others. Other Theater: Fences (Lyric Rep), Hamlet (Shakespeare Orange County), Group (Defiance Theatre Co – LA), and The Long Clock (Antaeus/Workshop). William is of Ghanian-American heritage.
