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 play Swallow takes a long, hard look at the extremes of everyday life.
Swallow was 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.

REVIEWS:
"[A] bloody great bruise of a play which borrows, magpie-like, from Sarah Kane but which is always distinctively itself. It has a shard-like lyricism that tears through the heart. It finds the comic in the tragic... a shattering 80 minutes."
The Guardian
"In a relatively short space of time Stef Smith has established herself as a remarkably diverse and elusive playwright... her most assured to date."
The Times
"Dazzlingly deft... there are so many reasons to love this piece... a must-see."
Independent
"Smith's script is dense with tense and memorable imagery... packed with powerful language."
