Wild Swimming

Nell and Oscar meet on a beach. It's 1595… or maybe 1610. Oscar has returned from university and Nell is doing nothing at all. They will meet here, again and again, on this beach for the next four hundred years. Stuff will change. As it does with time. They will try to keep up.

A kaleidoscopic exploration of cultural progress, Marek Horn’s play Wild Swimming is an interrogation of gender and privilege, and a wilfully ignorant history of English Literature.

This production contains strong language and adult themes and is recommended for ages 14 and over.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
