Casting for When You Pass Over My Tomb, a mesmerising story of love and lust beyond the grave, has been announced with Al Nedjari, Danny Scheinmann and Charlie MacGechan starring in the play, which is written by Sergio Blanco, directed by Daniel Goldman, and will show at Arcola Theatre in London from February 7 – March 2.
Daniel Goldman says: “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with Al, Danny and Charlie on this play. When You Pass Over My Tomb is unashamedly intellectual, challengingly ambitious and profoundly human. To my mind, it’s unlike anything else audiences will have seen in British theatre for a long time. I feel like we’ve got the perfect cast to deliver it and I can’t wait to get stuck into rehearsals.”
Flitting between storytelling and autofiction, three recently deceased actors take on the roles of political exile, medical pathologist and Sergio himself to recount one man’s search for meaning as he careens between a life changing decision and an unspeakable act of love. Male desire, friendship and eroticism intertwine in this darkly comic metatheatrical new play about consent and legacy by Latin America’s most prominent living playwright that asks, can we learn how better to die? Can we learn how better to live?
Sergio Blanco added: “This play is my homage to London, which is the city where I would like to be buried, near the Thames, the Globe and Turner’s paintings.”
