Wild Swimming: a brief and benighted history. Back by popular demand!
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.
FullRogue return to Bristol Old Vic with Wild Swimming prior to its first international run in New York and following its sellout runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Bristol Old Vic in 2019.
