Mermaids Have No Tears
by Ellis Stump
30 April - 17 May 2025, 7.30 pm
A splashy, silly, chaotic, coming-of-age tail
Inspired by the original fairytale and Hans Christian Anderson’s real queer love triangle, this coming-of-age tail, set at the iconic Coney Island Mermaid Parade, dives into themes of selfless vs shellfishness in America today.
As the 2025 political administration makes tensions and temperatures rise, should we indulge escapism or violence, or do mermaids hold the key to harmony?
We hope to see many enby friends in the audience!
The show runs for 80 minutes without an interval. This is a 14 + show.
Thank you to all the writers who submitted their plays to
Reboot Festival!
We will announce the shortlist soon!
