About
From the writer of the totally sold-out smash hit one-man show Jimmy, comes The Captain. The story of the first man to swim the English Channel. The bravery! The fortitude! The sheer outright insanity! It's time to remember this most humble of men, whose extraordinary feat ought to be far more celebrated than it is. Captain Matthew Webb. A man who died as he lived, chasing the impossible.
