Who was Adam Brace? ‘Just For Us’ Director Dead at 43

British playwright and director, Adam Brace who was known for co-writing and directing Just For Us has been reported dead by his longtime collaborator, Alex Edelman.

His death comes after it was announced that Brace and Edelman would bring the popular show Just For Us to Broadway. It is scheduled to begin previews at Hudson Theatre on Thursday, June 22, 2023, with an opening night set for Monday, June 26, 2023. It will run through Saturday, August 19, 2023.

Brace was also known for other plays including Stovepipe, They Drink it in the Congo, Midnight Your Time, One-Woman Show, Literally Who Cares?, Age Is a Feeling, and more.

“Adam Brace passed away on Saturday at the ludicrously unfair age of 43. He was my closest collaborator for more than a decade, but more importantly, he was one of my closest friends. I don’t feel ready to acknowledge the magnitude of this loss, I already feel it,” Edelman wrote.

“His death isn’t just a profound loss to the acts he worked with, his partner Becca, and his loving family, but also audiences who will now be deprived of the precision, joy, and dynamism that he brought out of everyone who was lucky enough to collaborate with him. I am bereft,” the statement ended.
