The Pass at The Pearly Queen Theatre

The acclaimed play by John Donnelly is coming to the East End.

Sex. Football. Fame. Secrets.

The Pass is a sharp, darkly funny and intensely gripping play about football, friendship, masculinity, desire and how much you’re willing to lose to win. What would you sacrifice to become the person the world wants you to be?

Jason and Ade have everything ahead of them. They’re young, talented, and on the brink of the big time. Football is going to change their lives. Then, the night before their first-team debut, a single moment changes everything. Something neither of them can take back.

Twelve years later, Jason has fame, money, and everything else he dreamed of. Ade’s life has taken a very different path. But when their worlds collide again, the past comes crashing back.

You don’t have to love football to understand the game. You just have to know what it’s like to want something so badly you’re willing to risk losing everything for it.

One night. One secret. Twelve years of consequences.

Recommended for audiences 16 and older.
