Pirate Rhapsody
It's The Little Mermaid, but in a way that you never would expect. Forget about Disney – this is the real story. The real romance.
Pirate Rhapsody, Mermaid Requiem is a haunting, desperate, cheeky, ranting, gyrating, hilarious and tragic exploration of love, betrayal and loneliness – a grim and beautiful retelling of the popular Hans Christian Andersen tale, The Little Mermaid. All of this set to an eloquent and equally gyrating original score played live by legendary Melbourne musician, John Thorn, the tale is told by award-winning cabaret artist Tommy Bradson.
Part of the Midsumma Festival, head down to Red Bennies from Wednesday January 18 – Saturday January 21 to experience Pirate Rhapsody.
