Swallow (NHB Modern Plays) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
