The Next Chapter - Mermaids at the Fringe
Charlotte is a medieval princess from a world of castles, court jesters and high-stakes adventure. Except she's entirely fictional, and she's the protagonist of A Fool's Fate, the bestselling debut novel written by Margot, an up-and-coming author just out of grad school. The problem? Margot is trying to write the sequel, and Charlotte has opinions.
The Next Chapter accompanies Margot and Charlotte through a couples' therapy appointment as they troubleshoot ideas on where the story should go next, ultimately learning about growth, taking risks, and how to move on.
“The struggle to move on, whether it be from a person, a place, a project, or anything else, is something extremely universal,” Says writer and director Addie Silva, “I'm really excited to work on a project that I think a lot of people will connect with.”
Funny, fast-paced, and unexpectedly heartfelt, this 40-minute production is a love letter to the stories that shape us – and the ones we're not yet brave enough to tell.
