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:
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
