A retelling of Hans Christian Anderson’s classic, The Little Sea-Maid – is a grim tale of sacrifice, transformation and how far we are willing to go for love.

Starting from the giddy heights of infatuation and plunging to the bottom of the deepest sea, this is a woebegone story of a woman who braves her most primal fears and takes the ultimate risk. Even with Judy Garland, The Grateful Dead and Shakespeare along for the ride, this journey towards requited love may not reach its destination. But this little mermaid is determined to get there, or die trying.
