RIGHTS OF PASSAGE will tell the stories of LGBT people and their communities who are subject to discrimination due to their sexual orientation. This new play aims to reframe the discussion by taking on a global perspective in telling several intersecting real-life stories that unmask human rights violations throughout the world.
