Switcheroo By Claptrap Theatre

When it comes to scattering their mother’s ashes, three siblings are hit with a bombshell revelation that turns their world upside down. This remarkable play by BAFTA-nominated Tom Needham is based on the very simple premise that ‘it’s not what you say, it’s the way that you say it’.

The first act is a full-blown, larger than life comedy then, after the interval, the characters swap round and it’s repeated as a serious drama. The contrast between the laughter and comedy in Act One and the truth and heart of Act Two makes it hard to believe these are the same characters saying the same words.
