Football. Fame. Desire.

How do you play the game of professional football when you are losing the war inside? Exploring the hidden pressures of life at the top whilst living in denial of your true identity, John Donnelly's gripping drama The Pass arrives Off-Broadway following its Royal Court premiere and critically acclaimed film adaptation starring Russell Tovey and Arinze Kene.

What's The Story?

Jason and Ade are teenage teammates on the verge of making their Champions League debut. As dreams of sporting glory become reality, a single night in a hotel room sets in motion a chain of events that will shape both of their lives for years to come.

Spanning three hotel rooms over twelve years, The Pass follows Jason as he navigates the demands of elite sport, the relentless scrutiny of fame and the impossible choices forced upon him as he grapples with his sexuality. As success grows, so too does the cost of maintaining the image the world expects to see.
