This gives the sense of lives trapped in poverty. It brings up the question of what it might take to make life more comfortable. Could we fly away like the swallow and would this escape last? The characterization is excellent and carries the play?

Kevin King's "The Swallows" is a remarkable work with authentic and captivating dialogue between two intricately crafted characters. The world constructed by King immerses the audience in a sensory-rich experience, thanks to the meticulous attention given to sound and visual layers. Listening to the production by Eclectic Full Contact Theatre truly transports listeners into the lives of Shawna and Kellie Lynn.

Director David Lipschutz deserves recognition for skillfully managing the pacing of the play. What sets "The Swallows" apart is its refreshing naturalness and honesty, with a subtle undercurrent of humor -BRAVO!

In THE SWALLOWS, Kevin King has created this smart, well-crafted, and at moments very funny two-hander with complex and detailed characters. I had the pleasure of directing a production as an audio play with Eclectic Full Contact Theatre. The dialogue is natural and honest (and, as a result, made my job directing and the actors' jobs performing quite easy!). A true slice of life play. Give this one a read (or a listen!).
