Year 12 Drama, as part of their studies of professional devised theatre, attended “Something in the Water” as part of the Adelaide Fringe. This personally inspired absurdist piece presents the issue of Gender Diversity in a hilarious yet thought provoking parable, created by Scantily Glad, an independent Canadian theatre company.
