Something In The Water

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Comedy

'Enter into a wacky world of sea monsters in high heels and angry mobs with tiny pitchforks' (InDaily)

When Grumms transforms into a squid monster (think Creature from the Black Lagoon meets The Muppets ), they must hide their secret identity and disguise as a "normal human woman". Cartoonish chaos ensues, and only through being themselves can they become the hero they’ve always wanted to be.

Stunning video projections, puppetry and physical comedy combine in this absurd exploration of gender and growing up "normal".

WINNER: Best Theatre, Adelaide Fringe 2021. 
OFFICIAL SELECTION: Spotlight Canada, Edinburgh Fringe, 2021

'If you like your theatre madcap, thoughtful and combined with what's-coming-next intrigue, don't miss out' (The Advertiser).
