Lupita Nyong'o isn't Afraid to Make Brave Career Choices

Most film stars whose career are on an upward trajectory usually don't take the time to make their debut on Broadway, but that is exactly what Lupita Nyong'o has done. She has debuted on the big stage with a role in Eclipsed, which she calls 'terrifying'. it is only two years since Lupita won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 12 Years a Slave. She also had a role in the mega-hit, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but was keen to stretch her acting muscles a bit, deciding on a 10-week run at Off Broadway Theater, then committing to the Broadway run. Eclipsed is a drama by Danai Gurira of The Walking Dead fame.
