Swallow by Stef Smith, Traverse Theatre Company

“Who said smashing things up was a bad thing?”
Balanced precariously on the tipping point, three strangers are about to face their demons head on.

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, this world premiere from Olivier Award-winning writer Stef Smith takes a long hard look at the extremes of everyday life. Questions of identity, heartbreak and hope are explored with vivid, poetic intensity.

Directed by award-winning Traverse Artistic Director Orla O’Loughlin, acclaimed for previous Festival hits Spoiling and Ciara.

Note: Contains strong language, sexual descriptions and descriptions of self-harm
