Forget the Olympics, welcome to THE CRAWL: the most epic swim race of the century. Facing off in the competition this year: Mytha, a decorated swimmer from the icy north, and plucky underdog Steve from Dead-endton, UK. Mytha trains in ice water and moves glaciers in his spare time. Steve is a beast at bicep curls and never says no to a fan autograph. And don’t discount French favorite Debussy, who may or may not be sitting in the audience right now… 

In this high-energy physical comedy, two performers bring to life top-level athletes, commentators, coaches, and even a glacier in a splashy display of virtuosic physicality. 

Featuring cinematic storytelling, audience interaction, and original musical underscoring, THE CRAWL dives into a world of absurd competition.

Described as "a masterclass in physical theatre" (Broadway World - 5 stars) and "a tantalising, good-time show which truly gets the heart racing” (Theatre Weekly - 4 stars), The Crawl is a riotous, bubbly show with a heartwarming undercurrent.
