About the Event
Set in 1920s England, our adaptation of Airswimming by Charlotte Jones is a vibrant, darkly funny, and heart-wrenching tale of friendship, resilience, and survival. Persephone and Dora, better known in their fantasy world as “Porph” and “Dorph,” are two women locked away in a hospital for the criminally insane for failing to meet society’s expectations. To endure their isolation, they escape into a world of make-believe, Doris Day obsession, and hilariously absurd rituals. As decades pass, their friendship becomes their lifeline. Together, they find hope, laughter, and the strength to outlast the fate forced upon them.
Produced and performed by Jasmine Degg and Lula Strong.
