The Swallowing Dark follows Canaan who thought he’d left the past in Zimbabwe, but then, out of the blue, Martha appears to reopen his case and with it, old wounds. Does she want the truth, or just a good story? And when lives depend on it, is the truth the best story to tell?

Theatre 503’s production is the premiere of Lizzie Nunnery’s latest play and is directed by its co-artistic director Paul Robinson.
