About the show
TANKED is a theatre show by Third Floor Theatre, performed at Playground 1 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The piece follows the relationship of Coral and Gil — two fish in a tank with much left unspoken between them. Described as a docu-series brought to the stage, the show uses clowning and a documentarian lens to explore the dichotomy of love and fear within a relationship, filtered through an anthropomorphic approach. The show runs for 60 minutes, tickets are £10.50 and it is suitable for audiences aged 14 and above.
Why see this show?
A clever and playful piece of theatre that uses two fish in a tank as a lens for the messy, pheromone-drenched reality of a relationship. Third Floor Theatre's clowning and documentary style make for an original sixty minutes at Playground 1.
