About the show
Secrets Secrets Shhh! is a wild character sketch show from Grumble Theatre in which a lonely cloakroom attendant invades her customers' pockets and acts out imagined versions of what their lives could be. The only thing stranger and stickier than the deeply personal objects she finds are the thoughts in her own head. The show follows one woman brave enough to stick her hands where the rest of us are too afraid to look — equal parts surreal and sharply observed.
Why see this show?
A one-woman character sketch show that turns the cloakroom into a portal to other people's lives. Inventive, funny and a little strange — just the kind of off-kilter show that the Fringe does best.
