←Recommendations of SWAY

Fantastic! Don't let it's internet clothing fool you, SWAY is a thinly veiled dark 70's sex-thriller. Fantastic, terrifying, hilarious, bloody and creepy as hell — SWAY is what theatre is all about.

Manipulation has never looked so sexy.

Part dark comedy, part influencer's wet dream, with just a dash of meta-textual take-down, this play redefines what a locked-room mystery can be.

SWAY will keep you on your toes and hanging on every word.

"Do you think this place is haunted? Because of my god. If it is, that'll be great content". A thrilling, disturbing play about the dangers of influencer culture and the contentless-ness of 'content'. And how influencers are not totally unlike cult leaders. In the age of Fyre Fest and Caroline Calloway, this play is eerily plausible. And Poppy as the soundtrack for EVERY PLAY, please.

This play is so so good. SMJ created a delicious powderkeg of characters and situations. Moments of this play are sure to stick with you for a long time.

I always thought that these "influencers" could be the downfall of our society or lead us all toward a new religion and after reading SMJ.'s Sway, I'd lean toward the horrific outcome of religion as so many people cannot start their day or pass one single one without checking in on these people living their best lives for the "benefit" of all those around them. False prophets come in so many disguises and shapes and these "influencers" are in spreading their messages to the dumb masses like candy.

This play is fun, flashy, weird, freaky and theatrical af. SMJ pulls back the curtain on influencer culture and takes us on a surreal horror movie like journey of the anxiety of trying to seem hot and #grateful all the time. And the ending!!! It’s a stunnerrr. This play is relevant, thought provoking and demanding a production

This play was absolutely everything I hoped it would be. It left me absolutely breathless when I finished reading. This play beautifully eviscerates influencer culture!

Queer, sexy, horrifying (but like, in a horny way) and all around masterful, SMJ has crafted an ominous narrative that totally blows up how terrifyingly powerful our digital world has become, with the added bonus of some good old fashioned cult mentality.

This is such a powerful, sexy, funny, horrifying play about influencer culture - something the theatre world ought to pay more attention to. The opportunities for projection and video design, the possibilities for movement, the terrifying twist - it's all so captivating. This play fucking rules.

An amazing, highly theatrical, and inventive piece! S MJ has crafted four complex and extremely distinct characters and has put them into a potent powder keg of a situation. The hilarious, unsettling, and heightened world of the piece slowly escalates, punctuated by eerie interruptions by the radio. The off-the-wall denouement both takes things to another level and feels inevitable all at once. The connections between social media influencing and cult-like worship are spot on, and I feel as if I haven't yet read or seen a theatrical take on this narrative. I'd love to see this onstage!
