Description

“A taut, incisive drama” (New York Times), Red Speedo is the Obie Award–winning play by Lucas Hnath, the Tony Award–nominated playwright of A Doll’s House, Part 2.
 
Ray’s swum his way to the eve of the Olympic trials. If he makes the team, he’ll get a deal with Speedo. If he gets a deal with Speedo, he’ll never need a real job. So, when someone’s stash of performance-enhancing drugs is found in the locker-room fridge, threatening the entire team’s Olympic fate, Ray has to crush the rumors or risk losing everything.
 
Red Speedo is a sharp and stylish play about swimming, survival of the fittest, and the American dream of a level playing field—or of leveling the field yourself.
