About Pass Over on Broadway
In PASS OVER, Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s "powerful and provocative" (Arifa Akbar, The Guardian) new play, Moses and Kitch talk smack, pass the time, and hope that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space and disrupts their plans. Evoking heartbreak, hope, and joy over its 85 minutes, PASS OVER crafts everyday profanities into poetic and humorous riffs, illuminating the unquestionable human spirit of young men looking for a way out. "THE RIGHT SHOW FOR BROADWAY'S BIG STARTUP. PASS OVER is a visceral new play with a determined and unstinting point of view. This is the richly expressed work of a remarkable young playwright with a huge career in front of her.” -Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
