Passage (Spring 2025)
May 8-11 & 15-17, 2025 in the Spanos Theatre
A fantasia inspired by E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India, PASSAGE is set in the fictional Country X, which is a neocolonial client of Country Y. B, a local doctor, and F, an expat teacher, begin to forge a friendship that is challenged after a fateful trip to a local attraction.
A meditation on how power imbalances affect personal and interpersonal dynamics across a spectrum of situations, the play allows a director wide latitude in casting the roles by race, ethnicity, and gender, with different casting choices highlighting different societal structures.
Be advised that Passage centers around issues of colonization and oppression and may be difficult for some viewers. This production also features a prop gun and the sound of a gunshot. This production is intended for high school age viewers and older.
