The Mermaid is a reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, created by an award-winning intergenerational team of teenage and adult theatre makers. Their re-telling traces the journey of a fifteen year old mermaid and her transformation, obsession, sacrifice, self-destruction and self-actualisation. A tragicomedy with a teenage chorus that has a screaming vision for a hopeful tomorrow.
