Playwright Clay McLeod Chapman & directed by Pete Boisvert talk with FEARS Magazine's executive editor Joseph B Mauceri about FEEJEE MERMAID.

On the eve of the 19th Annual International Taxidermy Championships, Lyman, Griffin, Lisette & P.T. - four experts of the trade have gather in Lyman’s hotel room. Fueled by an abundance of alcohol and the tension of competition, what initially begins as a friendly rivalry is transformed into a somber exploration of professional and personal repercussions stemming from the preceding year’s event. Central to their debate is the essence of creation, the pursuit of perfection, and the elusive capture of the enigmatic “spark.” As the night unfolds, one among them will demonstrate the unfathomable lengths they are prepared to go to push the boundaries of their craft, surpassing all preconceived notions of possibility.

FEEJEE MERMAID is a new play by writer Clay McLeod Chapman, directed by Pete Boisvert, and performances run through November 2 at The Flea, located downtown in New York City.

Clay McLeod Chapman, a weaver of macabre tales, he is a prolific author of books, comic books, children's books, and a 12-part horror podcast for Jordan Peele, as well as having written for film and television. His most recent novel is titled What Kind of Mother and Kill Your Darling.

Pete Boisvert is a director, actor, and graphic designer. He has produced and directed dozens of plays in NYC over the last 25 years, including Infectious Opportunity, The Adventures of Nervous-Boy, and The Brokenhearteds.
