“Tell me a story to remind me of feeling. And tell me now before I forget. True, bright, horrible, far far, up, up, up, up—”
A nurse reads a birthday card with someone else’s name. Two boys play a game of Mario and Peach. Sisters confess. You tell me a story. Lovers meet. Friendships end. Fireworks climb two streets away. Somewhere something is happening. And everywhere else, a writer is writing themself into existence.
THIS SWOLLEN THING (WIP) is presented by Mad Jacks Theatre, the award-winning company behind the ‘scorchingly emotional’ (★★★★ Broadway Baby) PHOTOGRAPHS, and ‘the extraordinary commentary on art, love and life’ (★★★★ Adventures in Theatreland) SCENES WITH BOYS.
"Companies like us genuinely would not be making theatre if it was not for the ability of CPT and its team to identify artists who are worth taking a chance on."
