Synopsis

Coyotes evading police.

Billboards predicting the end of the world.

It’s been a strange day at the office, and it’s only nine a.m.

Moving floor by floor from the basement up to the roof, scenes between employees in a corporate office explore the angst-ridden relationships between those that people often take most advantage of: their coworkers.

Press Reviews

"Five Stars! [Swimmers] is such a strong outing that it makes one eager to see what else Bonds has up her sleeve [...] the dialogue is often funny in its painful awkwardness. The characters are a charming, fascinating group of people."
— Marin Independent Journal

"[Bonds] writes with a sensitive touch that, along with the pain, also acknowledges the inescapable humanity of her characters and the humor that accompanies their angst. Mix empathy and laughs with a light splash of existential dread and you have a pretty potent dramatic framework."
— Pacific Sun
