May has come to dance
Her boyfriend is away and she needs the company
Joe's been doing this a while
Recently divorced, he's taking May through the steps
As they swing around the dance floor they meet a plethora of characters ...
These include their passive aggressive dance instructors
The older man, George and Sally whom he has the eye for
And Imelda who's only recently moved to the city
And Justin the flamboyant young gay guy who's full of energy and rhythm
And Noelia from Spain
And Regina from Northern Ireland
And Seán from the country who struggles to count the steps
An international hit from New York, Paris and Edinburgh, Swing is a two-hander comedy about dancing and music and love
And not settling and being brave and having doubts and trying your best and trying new things
And thinking outside the box and seeing things clearly
And living as well as you can
With rock and roll music, it's sure to make you want to dance
And the Reviews could hardly be better ...
