Max wants to tell you a story. He’s not entirely sure why, or even who he is; savage, peacekeeper or critic? Passengers, by UK award-winning trans artist Kit Redstone and director Jessica Edwards, explores in ensemble the epic battles within the psyche and the beautiful power of the mind to protect itself, inviting you to see the self in a new way. Passengers is a semi-autobiographical dark comedy about the epic battles and alliances within the psyche and the power of the mind to protect itself from pain. @adlfringe @kryiaarts @kitredstone @VacuumTheatre
