Pass Over

Moses and Kitch, two young black men, chat their way through a long, aimless day on a Chicago street corner. Periodically ducking bullets and managing visits from a genial but ominous stranger and an overtly hostile police officer, Moses and Kitch rely on their poetic, funny, at times profane banter to get them through a day that is a hopeless retread of every other day, even as they continue to dream of their deliverance... Playwright Antoinette Nwandu’s politically charged Pass Over riffs on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, transporting the classic play’s story framework to a contemporary Chicago.
