Winner of the Lustrum Award and published by Oberon Books.
A dark comedy about the epic battles and alliances within the psyche and the beautiful power of the mind to protect itself from pain. Max wants to tell you a story, he’s not entirely sure why or even who he is; savage, peacekeeper or critic: But he’s hoping you’ll be able to help him. From award-winning theatre maker Kit Redstone (British Council selected TESTOSTERONE: 'A refreshing, genuinely smart piece of work full of undercutting humour' - Lyn Gardner) Passengers uses dynamic ensemble theatre to charter the labyrinth of the mind and invites you to see the self in a whole new way.
