Funny, frank and sexy bisexual rom-com SWIMMING comes to the White Bear in August

Following a sell-out run in 2019, Alex Bower’s Swimming comes to the White Bear Theatre from 3-21 August.

Directed by Kayla Feldman, funny, frank and sexy Swimming tussles with big, twenty-first century questions around choice, taboos and the conflict of identity.

Envious of his best mate's care-free life and wild nights out, Dan suddenly splits up from his long -term girlfriend. Unexpectedly, he soon falls head over heels for Sam after a chance meeting at the pool. But for reasons he cannot explain or admit to himself, Dan keeps their new relationship a secret. Over the hot summer months, as they fall deeper in love and the truth comes out, Dan is forced to confront his prejudices and fears and ask if he must choose a lane in life.

The play explores the complexities, inherent misunderstandings and conflicts of male bisexuality - a really under-explored topic in popular culture. It looks at masculinity in the modern day, career uncertainty and frustration and the nature of commitment and choice in the world that tells us we can have it all. It grapples with the reality of being a gay man in a culture that's more accepting of queerness than ever, as well as being a humorous and entertaining story for gay people, straight people and everyone in between.
