Treading Water
by Subtle Pawscomedy, theatre
A Comedy Of Belly Laughs, Broken Hearts, & Biscuits.
about the production
Sue and Carol are lifeguards. Their routine is simple and their dreams seems equally so as they spend their days keeping the morning swimmers, the day trippers, and the evening strollers safe. Day after day they sit, they wait, and they watch the world go by. But when your job is to watch, when do you actually get to live? And what are they waiting for? A sign of danger? Maybe that’s just what they need.
about the artist
The Bees’ Knees up was created after seeing countless theatre shows and parties where children were reluctantly pulled back to their seat to spectate. There is a place for that, obviously, and if children want to simply spectate they can, but we wanted to create something which had the kids up on their feet, being involved with the action, and contributing to and driving the story by helping to solve clues, teaching us a dance move, showing us their best bunny hop, or simply being the wind that powers the boat!

" Gardner has an ear for comic dialogue and a wonderful understanding of pathos”
“… punctuated with such moments of physical comedy and, combined with the tip-top script, was a thoroughly entertaining production."
