swim team, inspired by Miranda July’s story, is a devised comedy exploring relationships between women dealing with the impact of toxic masculinity inflicted through romantic entanglements, and there is water.
Honestly, the only thing I need to know about swim team is that george mcconnell is directing and Samantha Johns is a production consultant on the show. Those two (together or individually) create some of the most engaging, mind-boggling, amazing theater I’ve ever seen. They directed a show back in 2012 called “Snowf**k” (without the asterisks) that I still think about. So whatever they’re doing, whoever they’re working with, I’m on board. There’s a video trailer on the show page on the Fringe site, and there’s more video and photos of this show in development on george’s website if you want more of a preview. Very much looking forward to this one. And if you haven’t seen work from these people before, you really should see swim team.
