The Pass is a British drama from debut Director Ben A. Williams, starring Russell Tovey and Arinze Kene. It has been adapted for the screen by John Donnelly from his hit play first presented at the Royal Court Theatre. After opening the prestigious BFI Flare Festival, The Pass will be presented as part of the BFI London Film Festival on the 12th of October before being released in cinemas December 2016.
The Pass is the story of three very different nights over 10 years in the life of a Premier League Footballer. Jason (Russell Tovey) is at the beginning of his career, and on the night before his first big international match he and long-time friend and team-mate Ade (Arinze Kene) share a hotel room, trying to beat the inevitable pre-match tensions with locker-room banter and teenage high-jinks. Out of nowhere Jason kisses Ade. The emotional repercussions of this pass, and the decisions that follow on and off the pitch, have a major impact on every aspect of the public and private lives of both men across the next decade, in a sporting world where image is everything.
The cast includes Nico Mirallegro and Lisa McGrillis. Tovey, McGrillis and Mirallegro all reprise the roles they originally performed on stage.
