Chemicals in the Water is a musical romantic comedy about two travellers who fall in love in the midst of an environmental disaster. This story follows Benzene, a sweet Forest Fire Magazines editor, and Vinyl, a hot-headed songwriter. When their train derails in a river, Benzene and Vinyl must survive Mother Nature's fury, only to fall in love and form a toxic relationship. Science communicator David Quang Pham alongside director Aliyah Curry return to The Tank with this chemical musical that offers a social commentary on the consequences of environmental protection deregulations with songs teaching covalent bonds.
