Set in 1920s England, Airswimming is based on the true story of two women (Miss Kitson and Miss Baker), imprisoned in a hospital for the "criminally insane" for having borne illegitimate children. Forgotten by their families and not released until the 1970's, Dora and Persephone adopt alter-egos, Dorph and Porph, to enact their fantasies and survive the silence of incarceration. By turns very funny and moving, Airswimming reminds us of these otherwise forgotten women.
