Do Not Pass Go, created and performed by Melanie Jordan and directed by Caitlin Skinner of theatre company Jordan & Skinner, tells the story of Lizzie Magie, the pioneering feminist and economist who invented The Landlord's Game — the board game that became Monopoly — only to have her creation stolen by Charles Darrow, who became the first millionaire games designer in history. Using clown, physical theatre, dance, British Sign Language, and spoken English, the show uses Magie's story to examine why women continue to be disadvantaged by the economic system and why alternatives to the status quo remain difficult to imagine. The production is Jordan & Skinner's first show fully accessible to deaf audiences, featuring integrated BSL performed by a cast member, with movement direction by Emma Jayne Park and BSL consultation by Duffy.
