Claire and her wife, Kit have just moved to North-East coastal town, South Shields from London to start their family life, to be closer to Kit’s family and to be near to the sea. Claire is pregnant with their first child and is starting a job at the local comprehensive school as the inclusion officer when she meets a student called Fish. Fish is a non-binary student with an obsession with wild swimming; Claire soon learns from Fish that her students can teach her just as much as she can them.
‘Out of Water’ is a tale exploring gender, wild swimming and how we define who we are. First performed at the Orange Tree Theatre in 2019.
