OFFIE NOMINATED: BEST SET DESIGN
OFFIE 2020 NOMINATION SHORTLIST FINALIST: BEST SET DESIGN
In a twist of fate the bright-eyed and youthful Swallow discovers a mysterious man hiding in her family’s barn. When she asks for his identity the first words he utters are ‘Jesus Christ’…and it’s as though her prayers have been answered. While the rest of the townspeople are searching for a fugitive escaped from jail, Swallow gathers the town’s children who make a pact to protect their new found saviour from the cruelties of the outside world.

There’s so much to love about this production, originally produced at the Union in 2015, not least Justin Williams’ rich, rustic set design
The Stage
It also looks fabulous. Justin Williams has done a sterling job with the set – with no need for scene changes, the action flows quickly and smoothly
