About the show
The IT is a surreal psychological thriller by Fuzed Theatre Company at Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A teenage girl has something growing inside her — she doesn't know what it is, but it isn't a baby. It expands, has claws, and eventually takes over her entire body. This contemporary physical theatre piece viscerally explores the teenage mental health crisis, blending sharp social commentary with heightened storytelling to capture the internal rage of a generation pushed to the brink. The show runs for 45 minutes, is suitable for ages 12 and over, and contains distressing themes.
Why see this show?
Bold, physical and urgently relevant — this surreal thriller uses the language of horror to get at something real about teenage mental health. Forty-five minutes of sharp, committed storytelling that pulls no punches.
