Producer's note
We would like to thank everyone involved in this show. All our supporters have our gratitude always.
A huge, warm shout out to Jacqueline, Joanna and Andy who braved the storm of a huge text and dared to tell this very important story, with tears and much laughter. Also with love.
Why "Airswimming" and why now? There seems to be an increasing attack on women's freedom again. Wade vs. Roe being abandoned in the U.S., countries around the world where women are still struggling for recognition/power, or trying to regain/maintain it after a shift in government & power. So if not now then when?
This is for all the brave and courageous young girls and women who fight for, or preserve their place, in the world every day. You are all queens and you are all beautiful & strong.
