Swallow (NHB Modern Plays)

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.
Painful yet playful, poignant but uplifting, Stef Smith’s Swallow takes a long, hard look at the extremes of everyday life. This powerful and poetic play premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, as part of the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Quotes

  • Andrea Elena P Sorianohas quoted9 months ago
    ‘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.’
