The Swimming Instructor

 

The ‘Celluloid Stage’ Version of ‘The Swimming Instructor’

About ‘The Swimming Instructor’

Have a splash with ACTION Theatre's all-new production of Desmond Sim's acclaimed sexy comedy ‘The Swimming Instructor’. Dive into a funny and touching tale about the undercurrents of love, lust and life as experienced by a down-to-earth swimming instructor, a vivacious rich girl and a go-getting advertising executive.

"Witty Script! Hilarious and Charming!
Heartbreakingly Poignant..."

- The Flying Inkpot Review

Get ready to dive into a hilarious and poignant tale about the undercurrents of love, lust and and loss as experienced by a down-to-earth swimming instructor, a vivacious rich girl and a go-getting advertising executive.

Guan is a no-nonsense swimming instructor who teaches kids swimming at public pools. Without him knowing, he's become an object of affection (and desire!)


Will Guan’s admirers discover what's lurking beneath his seemingly calm surface?
Can he teach them something deeper than a few swimming strokes?

And why is he always letting himself sink right down to the bottom of the pool?

The Cast & The Creative Team

Produced by ACTION Theatre's artistic director Ekachai Uekrongtham, this first-of-its-kind 'Celluloid Stage' version of the hit play will be a unique 'play-cum-film' experience with a bigger cast, additional scenes, new characters plus film sequences never seen before in previous productions.

Co-directed by Life! Theatre Award nominee Loretta Chen and award-winning filmmaker Sherman Ong, it sets out to tell the sparkling and often poignant story through an exciting blend of theatre and film. The cast includes hot newcomers Lim Wee Hong, Isabella Chiam and Jeremy Lee - all of whom were selected through extensive nation-wide auditions.

Watch out also for a crop of exciting new talents making a splash for the first time in this show!
