This is a story about something that can happen once in a lifetime, only if one dares to let it happen, something that can never be repeated, the memory of which haunts one forever and shapes what one has become. In this case, it is a love story-of a very rare kind. Anyone who has ever dared, even for a terrifyingly brief, tremulous moment, to let go and let his in-dwelling daimon become his destiny will know this experience and its haunting. For Adrian Morgan, it came in the form of an encounter with a siren on an isolated stretch of coast in the Mediterranean when he was nineteen-years old. Now, decades later, honored and admired, at the pinnacle of his professional life as a renowned scholar, celebrated author, and public intellectual, a long-forgotten voice from the past and what he recognizes unmistakably to be a “sign” compel Adrian Morgan to walk away from everything and to search again for the one thing that had given his life its meaning—the one truly authentic experience in his life—and which he now realizes he had spent a lifetime trying to forget. Knowing he must revisit it, figuratively and literally, he decides to break the silence of a lifetime and share this story with a young man in whom he recognizes something of his younger self. We relive this experience with Adrian. The young actress playing the siren, Leucothea, must convey and embody in every sense the “purity” of a creature from another world, beautiful but wild, remote from our own, be totally comfortable in her own skin and at one with her nature. When she appears, she should take the audience’s breath away and hold them spellbound every time she reappears. Hers is an ancient wisdom. The actress playing this character must know English, but heavily accented English is not a problem. There will be no fishtails or mermaid costume or anything that might induce an audience to dismiss her as something out of Disney.
