About this listen
At the age of 64, legendary athlete Diana Nyad inspired the world when she walked onto the shores of Key West after "crossing the Mt. Everest of the earth's oceans", becoming the first person in history to make the 111-mile swim from Cuba to Florida without the assistance of a shark cage. In her riveting new play The Swimmer, recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre, Nyad shares the heartbreaking setbacks, brushes with death, and the victories that kept her going, plunging the audience into the depths of her extraordinary journey. Written by Nyad, directed by Emmy Award winner Jane Anderson, and featuring her longtime friend and coach Bonnie Stoll, Nyad makes her New York stage debut in this powerful true story of passion and resilience.

Outstanding
For me to even contemplate such a Marathon task is difficult to appreciate. The concept of endurance swimming is totally unattractive thus to be given a glimpse of the character and commitment necessary of such a champion is without question awe inspiring.

Amazing woman
interesting live format. Well told story of incredible resilience and the importance of team work on what is on the surface (no pun....) a gruelling solo mission.
