The Captain

Park Theatre

From the writer of Jimmy, the sold-out, smash-hit, one-man show - comes the true story of Captain Matthew Webb, the first man to swim the English Channel. The bravery! The fortitude! The sheer outright insanity! It's time to remember this most humble of men, whose extraordinary feat ought to be far more celebrated than it is. A man who died as he lived, chasing the impossible.

Adam Riches notes: 'This is such a rollicking yarn and one I've long wanted to adapt into something live. There's so much drama here on offer, so much comedy, that it has been truly difficult to decide what to leave out and what to put front and centre. But if Captain Webb can swim the English Channel in a little under twenty-two hours, Adam Riches can tell the story of him swimming it (and more) in one!'
