PASS OVER

by Antoinette Nwandu

CANCELLED

“Deez streets uh violence. Streets uh anger. Lead deez boys on to dat promised land.”

A lamppost. A street corner. But also a plantation. But also a city built from slaves.

Moses and Kitch wake every morning. Stuck. Hoping to escape. Hoping to move on. Hoping for a promised land. Hoping to pass over.

An epic mash up of Waiting for Godot, the Exodus and stories ripped from the daily headlines, Antoinette Nwandu’s fierce and politically charged new play exposes the experiences of young black men in a world that refuses to see them.

A searing fusion of politics and poetry: playful, unsettling, blazingly angry and desperately sad.

Powerful, entertaining, meticulously physical, superbly directed

‘Waiting for Godot’ is updated for the Black Live Matter era in this excellent play from Antoinette Nwandu.

I will be thinking about this play for a long time and urge everyone to watch it. It is funny, painful, honest and necessary

- Afridiziak

A witty, humorous gem of theatre

- WhatsOnStage

In this day and age we really need art that challenges the way things have been done and isn’t afraid to ask the big questions – Pass Over does exactly that, with some brilliant acting performances too.

- Gay Times

This searing play demands to be seen. If ever there was a play that audiences should listen to, this is it.

- Broadway World

Powerful 80-minute drama. The fiercest account of racism on the London stage.

- The Arts Desk

This electrifying, energetic and hard-hitting production is worth seeing.

- LondonTheatre1

Tense and compelling. Begs to be watched in person, and up close.
