Bipolar & The English Channel is Julie Ridge’s story of how a casual mile-a-day pool swimmer became an English Channel swimmer in nine short months, and how that zig-zag journey across grey murky seas has paralleled her life with bipolar disorder. Act I is her Channel saga, which includes an illustrated telling of her 17 hour and 55 minute swim from England to France. Act II is a cautionary tale of suicidal depressions and dangerous manias that spanned a lifetime—until a near-fatal manic episode landed her on an unforgiving NYC psychiatric ward. Ridge's one-woman show culminates in her journey back to sanity and a meaningful life.
