Till vårsäsongens sista reading 2021 kunde vi till vår glädje åter välkomna 50 personer i salongen och readingen livesändes också online. 

I Lucas Hnaths RED SPEEDO är OS-uttagningarna är bara några timmar bort och för den framgångsrike simmaren Ray ligger vägen utstakad: ta sig till OS, ro hem det stora sponsoravtalet, säkra sin framtid. Men ett potentiellt ödesdigert hinder tornar upp sig: i omklädningsrummets kylskåp hittas olagliga prestationshöjande preparat. Plötsligt är hela lagets Olympiska öde hotat – likaså framtidsutsikterna för Rays tränare och för hans bror tillika agent. Alla misstankar riktade mot Ray – kanske hela fyndet i sig – måste undanröjas.

Red Speedo av Lucas Hnath är ett rappt, spännande och fyndigt drama om strävan efter ett bättre liv, framgång och om att vinna till varje pris.

”The characters in RED SPEEDO are palpably, at times movingly, human in their complexity and weakness…but as the play gathers steam it broadens out to become a subtle indictment of the ethos that insists that winning is everything.” — The New York Times

For our final reading during spring season 2021 we were delighted to yet again being able to welcome 50 people in the audience at the theatre – the reading was also livestreamed online. Thank you everyone who joined!

In Lucas Hnath's RED SPEEDO Ray has swum his way to the eve of the Olympic trials. If he makes the team, he’ll get a deal with Speedo. If he gets a deal with Speedo, he’ll never need a real job. So when someone’s stash of performance-enhancing drugs is found in the locker room fridge, threatening the entire team’s Olympic fate, Ray has to crush the rumors or risk losing everything.

Lucas Hnath’s Red Speedo is a sharp and captivating play sprinkled with dark wit, exploring the strive for success, a brighter future and winning at all costs.
