“I really hope that it empowers queer, trans, gender diverse and questioning youth to feel like there are people out there like them, that feel like them, that they’re not alone,” Grummett said.
Grummett, who uses they/them pronouns, based the play on their own experience coming out as trans in 2018. Li’l Grumms, who doesn’t feel like a boy or a girl, wakes up one day and discovers they have turned into a giant squid monster. Grumms tries to hide behind the disguise of a human woman, but discovers they must embrace their true self in order to become the hero they were meant to be.
S.E. Grummett presents the North American premier of the youth-adapted version of their solo play Something in the Water at Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon, March 29 to April 3.Before coming out, Grummett said they struggled with where they fit in, and with the fear they would be seen as a monster.
