The Obie-winning play by the Tony-nominated playwright of A Doll's House, Part 2.

Ray's 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 rumours or risk losing everything.

Red Speedo is a sharp and stylish play about swimming, survival of the fittest, and the American dream of a level playing fieldβ€”or of levelling the field yourself.
