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.
