Sixteen years after it became an unexpected Broadway phenomenon, Passing Strange has crossed the Atlantic in a production that is even more electric than the New York original first seen at the Public Theatre – the one-time home of Hamilton. So it seems fitting that its current iteration boasts Hamilton Olivier award-winner Giles Terera in a career-best performance as an itinerant music-maker who makes his way from America to Europe, transforming himself, and his audience, in the process
