Peepshow meets Fleabag in this filthy, funny and achingly tender romantic comedy set in a Cardiff swimming pool.
Romeo & Juliet. Rose & Jack. Buffy & Angel. Some names just go together.
Peepshow meets Fleabag in this filthy, funny and achingly tender romantic comedy about two people drowning in their own heads – and what happens when someone finally notices you.
Siby spent 20 years guarding the same Cardiff pool, surrounded by biddies, backstabbers and Gen-Z lifeguards who won't last the summer. Then Cole walks in. Young, damaged, and keeping secrets. Is he The One, or just another one?
Directed by Kate Wasserberg (Theatr Clwyd Artistic Director). There will be a post-show Q&A on Wednesday 14 October.
