RED SPEEDO

by LUCAS HNATH directed by MATTHEW DUNSTER

Ray lives to swim. He is within touching distance of Olympic glory and a life-changing sponsorship deal. But everything changes when performance-enhancing drugs are discovered in the club's refrigerator. As tensions run high, Ray's brother wants them destroyed, his coach wants to call the authorities, his ex-girlfriend doesn't want to know, and Ray wants the drugs back.

A thriller played at the breakneck pace of an Olympic sprint, Red Speedo tackles the unforgiving weight of success in a world where the only crime is getting caught.

Lucas Hnath is one of America's most exciting new playwrights, whose Tony Award-nominated A Doll's House Part 2 was seen at the Donmar Warehouse. Matthew Dunster directs this UK premiere, fresh from his West End hit productions of Shirley Valentine, 2.22: A Ghost Story and Hangmen.

"One of the brightest new voices of his generation" New York Times on Lucas Hnath
