Ondine by Jean Giraudoux at White Bear Theatre

Lost in the Dark presents Ondine, by Jean Giraudoux, directed by Cat Robey, at the White Bear Theatre, a fringe venue in Kennington, south London, from 28 Feb 2012 to 18 March 2012.

When Hans and Ondine meet, the worlds of a mortal man and a magical creature of the water dangerously collide and Ondine is forced to make an inexorable pact, which will change both their lives forever. Should he betray her, he must die and, along with her time on earth, be erased completely from her memory for her to return to the world of the lake forever.

Lost in the Dark is a new theatre company led by Elizabeth Merrick, who has a keen interest in both new writing as well as forgotten or foreign classics.
