SwingBy Steve Blount, Gavin Kostick, Peter Daly,
and Janet Moran An international hit from New York to Paris, Fishamble presents a comedy about dancing and music and love and not settling and feeling like an eejit and being brave and having doubts and trying your best and trying new things and thinking outside the box and seeing things clearly and living as well as you can and giving it a lash. Replete with a rock and roll score, it’ll make you want to dance. WINNER: BEWLEY’S LITTLE GEM AWARD Dublin Fringe Festival 2013 CRITICS’ PICK, New York Times |
