The Crawl

In this explosive physical comedy, two swimmers go head-to head in the race of a lifetime – on a stage with no water. 

In The Crawl, a Lecoq-trained duo conjures top-level athletes, commentators, coaches and more as the characters navigate the choppy waters of ambition.

Featuring visual storytelling, audience interaction, and original musical underscoring, The Crawl dives into a world of absurd competition and boundless imagination.

Described as “a masterclass in physical theatre” (Broadway World) with “plenty of clever, goofy touches and a wide appeal”  (The Guardian), The Crawl is a comic, heartwarming show for audiences ages 8+.
