Do Not Pass Go is a new show from theatre company Jordan & Skinner, created and performed by Melanie Jordan and directed by Caitlin Skinner. The show tells the story of Lizzie Magie, a feminist, economist, and games designer who invented "The Landlord's Game" — the board game that would become Monopoly — only to have her creation stolen by Charles Darrow, who went on to become 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 economic systems and why alternatives to the status quo remain difficult to imagine. Do Not Pass Go is Jordan & Skinner's first fully BSL-integrated production, with movement direction by Emma Jayne Park and BSL consultation by Duffy.
