David and Denise dive into a swimming hole in rural Kansas.  So begins a 10-year marriage that looks as beautiful as the clear blue water.  But under the surface lies an eddy of deception that threatens to drown their marriage.   When you’re in over your head, how long can you hold your breath?

"RECOMMENDED!... Repeatedly going against expectations, playwright Steve Totland infuses his drama “Swimming,” now in its world
premiere at the Road Theatre, with layer upon layer of nasty surprises.The action is set in rural Kansas, but again, Totland goes against expectations, refreshingly so, with characters as bright and articulate as any urban aesthete. With unflinching truthfulness, Friedman and her terrific cast reveal the drama’s heart, in all its unanticipated ugliness."
