Publisher's Synopsis

'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.
