Swings and Roundabouts : A Short Film

1 in 4 pregnancies result in miscarriage but the topic is ignored in mainstream media and storytelling, which makes it all the more isolating. Swings and Roundabouts hopes to change that and encourage a broader dialogue so that the inevitable 25% do not suffer in silence.

Starring:

John Heffernan (The Crown, Luther, Ripper Street), Mel Woodbridge (Blithe Spirit, The Angel) & Olivia Squier (Holby City, Shameless)

By Craig Higginson


Director Katie McAleese
Set Designer Alex Marker
Lighting Designer Michael Nabarro
Sound Designer Andrew Pontzen
Costume Design by Penn O’Gara

Cast: Dame Janet Suzman, Bernard Kay, Ariyon Bakare, Gracy Goldman

Produced with care and flair, and performed with real passion…One of the most perfect one act plays I’ve seen in ages.
The Independent****
Janet Suzman is mesmerising as Mrs Wiley…Gracy Goldman’s incorruptible serving girl, Beauty, provides a thunderbolt of realism to this true, textured and haunting historical reckoning.
Time Out Critic’s Choice
This look at black and white South Africans in flux comes painted in remarkably lifelike shades of grey.
The Times
Katie McAleese’s production is stunningly acted.
The GuardianCritic's Choice
Higginson’s intense and involving play.
The Stage
The Finborough has a massive, unmissable hit on its hands with Dream of the Dog…An evening fit to grab you by the throat.
The Telegraph *****
Aryion Bakare excels in the role of “Look Smart”… We are kept in rapt attention, with the cast never once letting the tension drop…90 minutes of compelling drama.
The Public Reviews
One of the best post-apartheid new dramas we’ve seen in London.
What’s On Stage
Higginson’s well crafted script of 90 gripping minutes…. is both an allegory of Apartheid South Africa and a moving story in its own right.
