CELEBRATING the fragility of live performance is one of Fullrogue’s missions and with this inaugural production they consistently challenge the boundaries of theatre.
Marek Horn’s deliberately chaotic script follows the meetings of two friends on a Dorset beach over the last four centuries, loosely using history to explore their changing roles and expectations and wild swimming as the metaphor for their freedom.
The play ranges from the confines of restricting Elizabethan sexual identity through the dawning aspirations of women during the Romantic era and the social upheaval of 20-century inter-war Britain to the present day and troubled issues of identity.
