Mia and the Fish

A modern retelling by Satinder Chohan of the ancient myth Manu and the Fish, produced by National Theatre Connections partnership.

Mia is a young refugee girl who along with her sister is washed up onto the shores of the UK.

Against the backdrop of a freak winter heatwave, as the climate emergency becomes critical, one day Mia happens upon and nurtures a talking fish, that she names, Samaki.

As well as becoming Mia’s friend and confidante, Samaki quickly grows and becomes a giant fish, larger than any marine animal the world has ever known and key to her and her friends’ survival in the face of the imminent extinction of humanity.
