Hello!
This is a dramaturgical exploration of the play “Swallows.”
Here’s how to use this site.

These materials are tools for deepening your understanding of both your individual character and the larger world of "Swallows." Start by identifying resources specific to your character's generation and background, whether that's '90s Hollywood history for Sloan, or social media culture for Lucky. Study how your character's experiences might shape their perspective on the play's key themes: fame, aging, sexuality, trauma, and power. Pay special attention to materials that illuminate generational differences, as these drive many of the play's conflicts.

Use this research not to create stereotypes, but to inform your character's emotional reality and their interactions with others. Keep referring back to these materials as you rehearse, letting them enrich your understanding of scenes and relationships while maintaining the play's careful balance of comedy and drama.
