Book Synopsis
And we are watching the huge grey waves crashing and this is the moment when I say I have to tell you something. Claire and her wife Kit have moved from the confines of London to the wide open coasts of South Shields. To be nearer family, to be nearer the sea, to put down roots. To have a baby. Claire's new job at the local school is a step up, and she wants to make a real difference, but she soon discovers that she has as much to learn from her students as they have from her. A tender new play about gender, wild swimming, and how we define who we are.

Trade Review
This is a small play with a big heart, a romantic comedy that’s genuinely funny but also unexpectedly powerful. * Evening Standard (on Jess and Joe Forever) *
The lightness of touch and splashes of humour quietly, charmingly, deftly coalesce into heartrending and heartwarming beauty. * The Stage (on Jess and Joe Forever) *
Very wise, very funny – and feels utterly authentic. * Time Out (on Jess and Joe Forever) *
