Swing State “is perhaps the first of the great American post-COVID plays” (Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune).
It’s hard to know who your friends are in a world that’s more divided than ever.
Recently widowed, Peg tends to the native plants in her 40-acre rural Wisconsin prairie backyard, her solitary days interrupted only by visits from a family friend with a checkered past. When a mysterious theft alerts the authorities, a string of events unfolds that forever changes their lives. Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Rebecca Gilman pens a contemporary portrait of America’s heartland in a time when it feels like everyone’s way of life is in danger of disappearing.
Swing State premiered at Goodman Theatre (Chicago) in 2022 and later played Off-Broadway, earning multiple Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.
