DugOut Theatre present Swansong, a post apocalyptic comedy in a swan pedalo, at The Lowry Wed 3 – Sat 6 May.
Swansong follows the story of four strangers in a swan pedalo after a flood that wiped out the world. As the last remaining survivors on earth they decide what to remember, and what to change.
After highly-acclaimed productions Fade, Inheritance Blue and The Sunset Five, DugOut Theatre examine how lies become stories and stories become legend inSwansong at The Lowry Wed 3 – Sat 6 May.
With DugOut’s usual blend of toe-tapping live music, laugh-out-loud comedy and consummate storytelling, Swansong is guaranteed to be a real adventure. DugOut’s use of sound to create different worlds filled with colourful characters, transports audiences on a captivating journey.
Casting includes writer and performer Tom Black, co-founder of DugOut Theatre Ed Smith, Charlotte Merriam & Nina Shenkman who trained at The Royal Welsh Collage of Music and Drama,
DugOut’s Artistic Director George Chilcott said; “In this show, form and content are linked as we present a series of interwoven stories that look at how we use story to try and make sense of the world.
“Storytelling, in theatre, allows for the audience’s imagination to take flight and we believe having actors paint pictures, with words and music, on stage, can often be far more exciting than the most spectacular pyrotechnics.”
Founded by a group of comedians, writers, musicians and actors, DugOut’s work is often funny, sometimes sad, usually hopeful and always musical. It warms your heart, moves your feet, treats your eyes, lightens your load, tickles your fancy and swells your heart.
Taking our joyful, popular plays around the country, we perform in a range of intimate spaces – from studio theatres to country pubs – and believe in bringing our unique brand of theatre magic to audiences everywhere.
