Descripción
Passage by Christopher Chen SUMMARY 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. HISTORY Passage premiered in New York City at Soho Rep in April 2019. The play was initially presented as part of the Contemporary American Voices Festival at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven Connecticut in 2017.
