Something in the Water
WINNER - Best Theatre, Adelaide Fringe 2021.
"Enter into a wacky world of sea monsters in high heels and angry mobs with tiny pitchforks." In Daily
When Grumms transforms into a horrible squid monster (think 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' meets 'The Muppets'), they must hide their identity in order to pass in society as a "normal human woman". A touching story of acceptance that anyone can relate to; with spellbinding video projection, puppetry and laugh-out-loud physical comedy, "Something in the Water" is an absurd exploration of gender, comic books and growing up "normal".
★★★★★ "UTTERLY SPECTACULAR" Broadway Baby
★★★★★ "ABSOLUTELY MAD" FringeBiscuit
★★★★ "If you like your theatre madcap, thoughtful and combined with what's-coming-next intrigue, don't miss out" The Advertiser
