Backstroke

Brand new play BACKSTROKE is playing at the Donmar Warehouse for a limited run in early 2025!

“Just let go. Let your body float. You’ll still be here but it’ll feel like flying in a dream.”

Celia Imrie and Tamsin Greig play mother and daughter in this kaleidoscopic and compassionate new play, written and directed by Anna Mackmin.

What is Backstroke about?

Bo is busy – balancing the pressures of work and the needs of her struggling daughter. When her mother, the irrepressible force-of-nature Beth, is admitted to hospital following a stroke, the practical realities of the present collide with the complexities of their past.
