Amy-Leigh Hickman stars in Dan Sareen’s new play Passing at the Park Theatre this November 2023.

Family lines are drawn, British politeness begins to slip, and a family is forced to confront what they are at risk of losing in Passing – a moving family comedy-drama that shines a light on the modern biracial experience.

When does cultural heritage become lost through generations? And at what point do we fight to keep that legacy alive?

Directed by Imy Wyatt Corner, and following critically acclaimed productions at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Seven Dials Playhouse, Passing stars Amy-Leigh Hickman (Ruby Speaking, You) as Rachel Singh, and Bhasker Patel (Emmerdale) as Yash Singh.

Passing is running at the Park Theatre in London from 1 to 25 November 2023.

‘I’m scared that I’m missing out on things, losing things, that were supposed to be passed down’

Rachel is stuck – from two different backgrounds but without one clear identity. And with her Indian Grandfather’s health declining and her Father’s rejection of his roots, time is running out.

Desperate to maintain her connection to her heritage, Rachel organises the family’s very first celebration of Diwali – determined to bring Indian culture into their lives before it’s too late. As the Singh family are pushed to their limits, family lines are drawn, British politeness begins to slip, and they are forced to confront what they are at risk of losing.
