Drama with elements of magical realism. Somewhere on the coast of British Columbia there is a cove. In that cove, there is a sailboat called Esperanto. What happened there is disputed. Two old men will tell you one version, loudly, over the top of one another. A father tells his daughter a gentler one. A woman writes it all down at night and is not certain she believes a word of it. There is a mermaid in it. She is several hundred years old and she likes old black-and-white movies. Rate: $200 CAD/day flat, all roles — leads and supporting alike. Ten-hour days, paid weekly. Non-union.

1 role
A serious, watchful, self-possessed child. She corrects adults quietly and without heat. She rations her food. She holds a conversation with a stray dog and takes it seriously. She notices everything and reports none of it. She is not precocious and she is not plucky — she is a small person with adult composure. Much of the part is silent: there are long passages with no dialogue and no scene partner, where the whole of the scene is a child thinking.
