Audition: "Perseus and Anemone"
The Shattered Glass Project
About the project and the company
“Perseus and Anemone”
written by Monique Aldred and directed by Sadiqua Iman.
ABOUT THE PLAY AND THE PRODUCTION:
Perseus and Anemone are just a couple of mermaids who’ve decided to shun tradition and live on land, a decision that caused a big rift between Anemone and her traditionalist mother, Oceanica. A return visit for reconciliation turns into an emotional journey for everyone as secrets both past and present are revealed.
