THE PASS To Make US Debut Off-Broadway This Summer

Twelve Years. Three Hotel Rooms. One Goal. It was announced today that John Donnelly’s The Pass will have its US Premiere in a new production directed by Max Hunter. The play will begin performances on Thursday, July 30 at La Mama, with an opening night scheduled for Monday, August 3. The show will play a limited five-week run. The play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2014. 

A hotel room in Eastern Europe, 2014. On the eve of their first Champions League match, two rising British football stars find themselves facing something neither preseason training nor media coaching could prepare them for.

Sharp, sexy, and darkly funny, The Pass explores masculinity, desire, and the brutal machinery of fame. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't losing the match.

The Pass features set design by Seth Byrum, lighting design by Cheyenne Sykes, costume design by Amanda Roberge, sound design by Megan Culley, prop design by Thomas Jenkeleit, video design by Dwight Bellisimo, and intimacy coordination by Alysia Homminga. Julian X will serve as associate director, Roger Lipson as production stage manager and Lexi Holder as Assistant Stage Manager. Casting is by Sujotta Pace, CSA / C12 Casting.  

Tickets are available to purchase at www.thepassplay.com and range from $49-$99.
