Swallow (NHB Modern Plays)

'Who said smashing things up was a bad thing?'
Three strangers are about to face their demons head on. Balanced precariously on the tipping point, they might just be able to save one another — if they can only overcome their urge to self-destruct.
Passionate, painful and playful, Stef Smith's Swallow takes a long, hard look at the extremes of everyday life. The play premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, as part of the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it received a Scotsman Fringe First Award. It was directed by Traverse Artistic Director Orla O'Loughlin, and featured original music by LAWholt.

Quotes

  • Andrea Elena P Sorianohas quotedlast year
    ‘I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.’
