About Something in the Water:
"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". Stunning video projections, puppetry and physical comedy combine in this absurd exploration of gender and growing up "normal”. Inspired by performer/creator, S.E. Grummett’s experience coming out as transgender, “Something in the Water” makes its debut in Regina, before heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
“I can’t recommend this play enough” - The Star Phoenix
"If you like your theatre madcap, thoughtful and combined with what's-coming-next intrigue, don't miss out" - The Advertiser
WINNER: Best Theatre, Adelaide Fringe 2021
OFFICIAL SELECTION: Spotlight Canada, Edinburgh Fringe 2021
