Description

I remember thinking, what difference is there between donating my body to science and donating it to someone who might find pleasure in it when I'm dead.

Sergio Blanco and Daniel Goldman collaborate again, after the success of their critically acclaimed Offie award-winning productions of Thebes Land and The Rage of Narcissus, to tell a mesmerising story of love and lust beyond the grave.

Desire, friendship and eroticism intertwine in When You Pass Over My Tomb, a dazzling play by Latin America's leading living playwright that asks, how far would you go for love? And will the world allow it?

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Arcola Theatre in February 2024.
