Inspired by Waiting for Godot and the Book of Exodus, Antoinette Nwandu fuses poetry, humour and humanity in a rare and politically charged play that exposes the experiences of young Black men in a world that refuses to see them.
Pass Over by Antoinette Nwandu received its UK premiere at Kiln Theatre, London, 2020.
A searing fusion of politics and poetry: playful, unsettling, blazingly angry and desperately sad.' FINANCIAL TIMES
''Theatre for the heart and head, reinventing and complicating old stories to make them newly and fiercely relevant.'' GUARDIAN
''Powerful scarcely begins to describe the impact of this play. It has a devastating force and a poeticism that dazzles.'' THE TIMES
