How far would you go to save the one you love? What happens when you go too far?

Jack wants to stop his mum from destroying the family home. His mother, Marlene, wants to hold onto everything and Sarj, his best friend, wants to be there for Jack… or is he just there for the rice crackers?

Marlene is a hoarder and a notorious one at that. She has managed to fill her entire house with every random object, loose odd and stray end imaginable but as far as Jack is concerned, it has all got to go. Conflict is certain but will Jack be able to do what his mother could not and learn to let go of the things that he is holding onto before it is too late? Who can say? Some things are harder to swallow than others.

Both equal parts hilarious and deeply moving ‘Swallow the Fly’ has been described by audiences as extremely personal and exceptionally poignant. Performed at the intimate Garnet Station Tiny Theatre, come and enjoy a pre-show beverage or woodfire pizza – a cracking piece of fresh New Zealand Theatre and one show this Fringe season that is not to be missed!
