Fishamble: The New Play Company presents

Swing

It’s Mae’s first go at swing dancing, and she’s there filling the time while her boyfriend’s away. Joe has been taking classes a while, having taken it up after the family printing business, and his entire life, collapsed in the recession. Both are at a crossroads, and if that’s not the most perfect place for a dance, where is? Set in a dance class, with rock and roll music, this show will make you want to put on your dancing shoes!

“Funny, warm, and well produced, with a rousing finale that’s enough to make you kick up your own heels.” (***** Irish Theatre Magazine)

“Moran and Blount create endearing visions of stalled lives in a whirl of possibility and, with elegant guidance, Daly lets them dance like angels.”
(**** The Irish Times)
