Marek Horn is a playwright whose work includes: Octopolis (Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, 2023); Yellowfin (Southwark Playhouse, 2021) and Wild Swimming (2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Bristol Old Vic and UK tour).
Nell and Oscar meet on a beach in Dorset. It's 1595 or maybe 1610. Oscar has returned from university and Nell is doing fuck-all. They will meet here, again and again, on this beach for the next four hundred years. Stuff will change. As it does with time. They will try to keep up.
A kaleidoscopic exploration of cultural progress, Marek Horn's play Wild Swimming is an interrogation of gender and privilege, and a wilfully ignorant history of English Literature.
The play premiered at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, produced by FullRogue in association with Pleasance Futures and Bristol Old Vic Ferment, and directed by Julia Head. It subsequently transferred to the Bristol Old Vic, and toured the UK in 2020.
