WILD SWIMMING | FULLROGUE
EDINBURGH 2019 | BRISTOL OLD VIC 2019 | NYC 2020 | TOURING 2021
Winner of the Pleasance Regional Partnership Award 2019.
Nell and Oscar meet on a deserted beach in Dorset.
It’s 1595...or maybe it’s 1610.
Oscar has returned from his first term at university and Nell is doing f*ck all.
They will meet here, again and again, on this beach, for the next 400 years.
Stuff will change, as it does with time. They will try to keep up.
Wild Swimming is an interrogation of gender and privilege and a wilfully ignorant history of English Literature.

'They don’t so much break the fourth wall as
smash it to pieces, grind it up and serve it to
the audience’

‘Jules Head’s direction is relentlessly playful,
squeezing the juice out of theatrical possibility,
a wild piece of feminist theatre.’
