The Waterman Tickets

The Waterman revolves around a race of peaceful ocean-dwelling “Water People” who come into conflict with the so-called "Land Men" over their reckless pollution and illegal fishing practices. The two civilizations, both deeply suspicious of the other, are on the eve of a globally destructive war when a half-fish, half-man secret agent called The Waterman goes deep undercover as a human to save the day. The show is scored by a folk-rock palette, sometimes haunting, sometimes raucous, and always foot-stomping enjoyable. We grapple with questions about familial obligations, political war tactics, and what it means to love a half-human/half-fish.
