A bold reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of love, loss and desire.
Below the ocean there is no death or pain or separation. Above the water is the modern world beset with war, poverty and need. On her sixteenth birthday, a mermaid rises up to the surface, leaving her childhood behind forever when she falls in love with a mortal prince. She knows that she can no longer live at the bottom of the ocean, but must she destroy herself in order to be loved?
Shared Experience is renowned for its thrilling adaptions of literary classics. Plundering Hans Christian Andersen’s haunting tale for its dark, erotic, mythic power, writer and director* Polly Teale *(Jane Eyre, After Mrs Rochester, Brontë) transports the story to a contemporary setting in this spell binding new production.
Using a choir of local young women to create an unearthly musical landscape Shared Experience conjures the magical world of Mermaids.
