Swamped - A Comedy Play

Frank and Roy’s business is running on the smell of an oily rag, and it stinks. Cutting their losses as employees, they created their own digital media production house as a means to have control over their careers and, by extension, their lives.

It’s been five years, 164 days and nine hours but who’s counting? They are. They’re still hustling like it’s day one, burning the candle at both ends and on the sides but only just paying the bills. And tomorrow, they’re out of money. So it’s sink or swim, which is all you can do when you’re Swamped.

A survival comedy about work, friendship and abandoning all hope.
