Watch Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong’o Discuss Her Return to the Stage in Danai Gurira's Eclipsed

Lupita Nyong’o is currently starring in Danai Gurira's Eclipsed off-Broadway and she recently stopped by The View to talk about the show, which is set amid the chaos of the Liberian Civil War. "I play the girl who is the newest and youngest sex slave that is being held by a rebel commander," the Oscar winner explained, and she's relishing returning to the boards in such a powerful piece. "This is my first time since leaving Yale to be back on the stage and it feels so good to have a live audience and to go through that experience together." Check out the video (and Broadway alum Raven Symoné's fangirling) in the video below. The production is playing a limited engagement through November 29 at the Public's LuEsther Theater.
