Nell and Oscar meet on a beach in 1595, or is it 1610? Oscar has returned from university and Nell is doing f**k-all, because, well, she can’t. They will meet here again, and again, and again, on this beach, over the next four hundred years. Some things will change, as they do with time. Some things won’t.

Wild Swimming is an exploration of feminism and cultural progress. It is an interrogation of gender and privilege, and a wilfully ignorant history of English literature, shown through the turbulent relationship between two young people.

"(OTG)...delightfully plunge us into the lives of a young couple whose relationship is firmly in the ‘can’t live with you, can’t live without you’ stage...Hope-Thompson and Clark both deliver confident performances displaying an emotional maturity beyond their years as they handle the complexities of language as well as character nuances and vulnerabilities with some ease. As a pairing they had the necessary chemistry that the roles demand as well as something more: there was a synchronicity in their movement and delivery that was a real pleasure to watch." ****
