Song of the Mermaid
Directed by Kevin Woolridge
Song of the Mermaid, by playwright Jamie Skidmore, returns to the Isle aux Morts Theatre Festival for its third season. Song of the Mermaid is a re-telling of the famous Newfoundland story of 17-year-old Ann Harvey of Isle aux Morts, and her rescue of 163 survivors from the shipwreck Despatch in 1828. Told from the perspective of the ship’s First Mate, the play revolves around a love triangle that threatens to rip the vessel apart before it reaches the shores of Newfoundland. Will Ann rescue the lovers in time, or will they go down with the ship? With a brand new ending for 2017.
