Pass Over By Antoinette Nwandu
Directed by Tim Rhoze
A provocative riff on Waiting for Godot, Pass Over is a rare piece of politically charged theater by a bold American voice.
Nighttime. A lamppost.Two friends are passing time. Stuck. Waiting for change. Inspired by Waiting for Godot and the Exodus, Antoinette Nwandu fuses poetry, humor and humanity in a rare and politically charged play which exposes the experiences of young black men in a world that refuses to see them.
