Never Swim Alone by Daniel MacIvor is a story of male one-upmanship in which the characters Frank and Bill boast their alpha male personalities in a series of highly competitive “Rounds”, as one would see in a boxing match. The judge of the match is a girl in a blue bathing suit, who at the top of the show, lies dead under a sheet. MacIvor comments on toxic masculinity and how its implications harm everyone, especially women, and this production explores what this looks like when portrayed solely by actresses. Senior work for Elsa Marrian and August Siegel.
