Dramatic theatrical scene with actors in conflict

Mermaid

By Polly Teale - based on the book by Hans Christian Anderson

What happens when the lines between reality and myth begin to blur?

As stories and reality intertwine, the world becomes both magical and dangerous. Every choice ripples, every secret swims just beneath the surface.
