A forgotten scream queen faces a buried secret in this darkly comedic tale of Hollywood survival.
When a long-forgotten scream queen is pulled back into the orbit of her former co-star’s desperate attempt to reclaim fame, she must decide whether to reveal a painful truth or protect the fragile life she has built on its foundation. Swallows seamlessly blends gripping storytelling, dark comedy, and an original song by Rossi. This compelling production delves into the casualties of Hollywood, faded stardom, and the relentless pursuit of relevance in an industry that chews up and spits out its own.
At the heart of the play is Brodie, a washed-up ’90s heartthrob, and his middle-aged girl band, The Swallows, who are attempting to shoot a music video inside their deteriorating Valley McMansion. However, their already precarious existence is thrown into chaos when a long-buried secret threatens to surface.
