| Summary |
Presented by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Paula Vogel, Bard at the Gate offers a simple glance at plays that are ground-breaking: plays that were too ambitious, too quirky and too smart to be contained. Strong scripts. Raw talent. New audiences. New Bards. The plays in the series have been chosen by Ms. Vogel from among the hundreds and hundreds of scripts she has read and/or mentored over four decades: works that have been overlooked and never produced, along with plays that deserve a wider audience. In the fifties, on an island colonized by the British, an English couple kidnaps a child indigenous to the island. On National Sorry Day the child, now a visual artist, has been asked to participate in the proceedings where "both sides" peaceably reconcile. PASSING is a confrontation with a brutally violent history which resists erasure |
