And we are watching the huge grey waves crashing and this is the moment when I say I have to tell you something.
Claire and her wife Kit have moved from the confines of London to the wide open coasts of South Shields.
To be nearer family, to be nearer the sea, to put down roots. To have a baby.
Claires new job at the local school is a step up, and she wants to make a real difference, but she soon discovers that she has as much to learn from her students as they have from her.
A tender new play about gender, wild swimming, and how we define who we are.

At its home in Richmond, South West London, the Orange Tree Theatre aims to entertain, challenge, move and amaze with a bold and continually evolving mix of new and rediscovered plays in our unique in-the-round space. We want to change lives by telling remarkable stories from a wide variety of times and places, filtered through the singular imagination of our writers and the remarkable close-up presence of our actors.

Established in 1971, the Orange Tree has had an exceptional track record in discovering writers and promoting their early work, as well as rediscovering artists from the past whose work had either been disregarded or forgotten. In the last four years, the OT has been recognised for its work with 27 major industry awards, including 15 Offies (Off West End Awards), five UK Theatre Awards, Critics Circle Award, an Evening Standard Theatre Award, the Alfred Fagon Audience Award and the Peter Brook Empty Space Award.

In 2017/18 the Orange Trees work was seen in 21 other towns and cities across the country.

The Orange Tree is a registered charity (no. 266128) whose mission is to enable audiences to experience the next generation of theatre talent, experiment with ground-breaking new drama and explore the plays of the past that have inspired the theatremakers of the present.
