Lovesick Little is the vibrant and heartfelt re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen's iconic fairy tale, The Little Mermaid (1837). In this brilliantly spun adaptation, lush and sweeping homage is paid to the original, more poignant trajectory of one of the most enchantingly dark love stories ever written, set against the backdrop of a mystical underwater kingdom and at the top, a modern world beside the sea.
Re-imagined boldly and colourfully, Lovesick Little speaks of the exquisite pain of loving things just out of reach, while delivering a sobering snapshot of humanity in the twenty-first century and the tumultuous marriage that binds people to their oceans.
This tribute, as beautifully wrought as it is at times shocking and raw, takes place at the point where two worlds collide, and an unforgettable ascension begins.
