The Merman is extending the deadline for SELF-TAPES!!!

A starry-eyed pianist, a lonely, paranoid war veteran and a shadowy, ruthless mayor are just a few of the roles in this new piece of student-written theatre!! The Merman is a magical-realist romantic tragedy that dissects the role of fear and hope in dictating our actions. It asks, what would it take to turn to cannibalism, and uses this as a provocation to interrogate how fascism takes root, examining the human capacity for violence, the cycle of fear it perpetuates, and the myths used to justify it. Hunger is everywhere, and the Mermen are coming... stay vigilant.

I am looking for self-tapes to put together a team of actors to help bring this play to life!

Send a self-tape to tg534@cam.ac.uk, lh885@cam.ac.uk and eeb55@cam.ac.uk by the 24th October 00:00 to audition :))
