Merboy archive"Marooned out at sea. and the greedy moon is fat. Fed by the tide to show far and wide That I have grown." The fantasy world of fairy tale meets the dramatic yearnings of 1960s girl band music and the intense depths of gay shame in Merboy, a poetic and queer retelling of The Little Mermaid. Using verse, storytelling and lip-synching, Merboy tells the story of a sexual awakening of mixed heritage queer boy navigating school homophobia and the brutal complexities of gay scene. A musical chorus of drag sisters supports this fun romp into the true meaning behind Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale.
