Rehearsed Reading. Passing is a new play that exposes the controversial practice of "racial passing" - the use of skin colour as a form of social currency. This epic family drama provokes thought on identity, race and feminism through powerful language, live music and unforgettable characters. It is the only script of its kind that gives the mixed-race experience centre stage.Director Gemma Aked-Priestley.
