Amongst the steam and ritual Nick will take you on a journey to find the place he belongs. Bubble Schmeisis is full of intimate and personal true stories about identity, home and getting schmeised (washed) by old men.

Reviews

This is a big-hearted, appealing show about tradition and belonging. Cassenbaum is a gregarious performer and this is an accessible, generous, disarming production. * The Stage *
Cassenbaum is a disarmingly informal raconteur, talking to the audience as if we're old friends. * The List *
Effortlessly charming and infectiously funny, Bubble Schemisis is everything youd want from a show * Three Weeks *
