A retelling of the myth by Judith French that inspired Wagner's classic opera "The Flying Dutchman." A mysterious Dutchman is condemned to sail the seas for eternity unless he can find a woman who loves him enough to die for him. But how do you prove that a lover would give their soul to save yours?

In the short, dark days of a Norwegian winter, this timeless tale explores the power of love and the strength of evil. Directed by Rachel Horan, the cast includes Gerard Murphy as The Mariner, James Laurenson as The Fiend, Ellie Beaven as Senta, Ifan Meredith as Eric, and Pip Donaghy as Daland.

The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship said to never be able to make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever.
