Buckle up for the true tale of how Megan Dunn’s lifelong obsession became a midlife mermaid odyssey. From the 1984 romantic comedy Splash to Skyping the first freelance mermaids of the new millennium, her odyssey takes her to strange and unlikely places, probing the collective unconscious and asking the question: What is it about mermaids? Diving into the caves of her own life, Dunn, one of our wittiest writers, loses the plot but finds her voice and hears the mermaids singing. Chaired by Claire Mabey.
