" ... denied the simple act of coming up for air - and yet still they swim!" (Charlotte Jones)
1924: Persephone Baker is planning her coming-out ball at the Dorchester when she finds herself abandoned at St Dymphna’s Hospital for the Criminally Insane with only 'unhinged, cigar-smoking, monomaniac transsexual' Dora Kitson to keep her company. Forgotten for 50 years, Persephone and Dora escape to a surreal fantasy life enlivened by Doris Day, 2000 Bolshevik women, a Moulinex hand whisk and ... Airswimming.
By turns funny and desperately sad, Airswimming is a story about friendship and the power of the imagination.
"Captivating, comical, inspiring and affecting ... Airswimming is an admirable piece of theatre that deserves every recommendation."
BROADWAY BABY *****
"This is exquisite, exceptional acting ... Weird Sisters’ Fewer Emergencies last year dazzled; Airswimming does so in depth and tenderness, reinforcing their gift for probing extremes with uncompromising texts. Anything this tiny ensemble does now is worth a detour."
