After a sell-out production at CPT's Sprint festival in 2020, and a hit run at Pleasance Courtyard at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, SWARM is re-born and more relevant than ever.
Using character comedy, clown, stand-up and spoken word, SWARM subverts the language used to dehumanise those who are othered to re-tell a far more evocative reality. As a response piece to when David Cameron referred to migrants as a "swarm", this show asks: are migrants seeking refuge in the UK really the toxic demographic pervading British society, or is it us?
From ‘anarchist clown’ and theatre-maker Liv Ello.

Praise for Liv Ello:
“British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
