King’s High School presents<br />
MERMAID<br />
by Polly Teale<br />
A bold reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale<br />
of love, loss and finding your voice, transported to a<br />
contemporary setting.<br />
Beneath the ocean’s waves there is <strong>no</strong> death or pain or<br />
separation. Above, the modern world is beset with war,<br />
poverty and hardship.<br />
On her sixteenth birthday, a mermaid rises up to the<br />
surface, leaving her childhood behind for ever when<br />
she falls in love - but must she destroy herself in<br />
order to be loved? Meanwhile a young girl realises<br />
that she too has an important choice to make<br />
– take the easy route and follow the crowd or<br />
stand up and show the world who she is.<br />
In a world where the female voice is becoming<br />
more important than ever, the talented cast<br />
and crew of King’s High School will bring to life<br />
this beautifully poetic story to really explore<br />
the importance of finding your voice!<br />
