From the writer of Jimmy, the totally sold-out, smash-hit, one-man show of Summerhall 2024 – 'solo shows are ten a penny at the Edinburgh Fringe, but this feels like one in a million' ***** (Telegraph) – comes the true story of Captain Matthew Webb, the first man to ever swim the English Channel. The bravery! The fortitude! The sheer outright insanity! It's time to remember this most humble of men, this Shopshire lad, whose extraordinary feat ought to be far more celebrated than it is. A man who died as he lived, chasing the impossible.
