Professor Ndounou Recognized by Boston Globe for Production of "Pass Over"

The Boston Globe named Professor of Theater and RMS Faculty Associate Monica White Ndounou's production of Antoinette Nwandu's Pass Over one of the top ten Boston productions of 2020. The Globe's early reviews of the production described the play as one that seeks "to enfold both that history and today's concerns about police brutality, gun violence, and systemic racism within a mash-up of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot'' and the escape-from-oppression story of Exodus."

About the production:
Moses and Kitch chat their way through yet another aimless day on their local street corner in this groundbreaking mash-up of Waiting for Godot and the Exodus saga. Crafting everyday profanity into poetic and humorous riffs, the friends share their dreams of deliverance, until an ominous stranger changes their world forever. Potent, daring, and breathtakingly theatrical, Pass Over unflinchingly exposes the reality of young black men just looking for a way out.
