Red Speedo
About this book
Ray lives to swim. He is within touching distance of international glory and a life-changing sponsorship deal. But everything changes when performance-enhancing drugs are discovered in his swimming 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, Lucas Hnath's play Red Speedo tackles the unforgiving weight of success in a world where the only crime is getting caught.
This sharp and stylish play was first performed at New York Theatre Workshop in 2016. It received its UK premiere at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, in 2024, in a co-production with David Adkin. It was directed by Matthew Dunster and starred Finn Cole.
