Remotegoat Review of Mercury Fur
"Very little in London's recent theatrical landscape has resonated with quite the amount of sheer intensity and lacerating emotional whirlwinds as theatredelicatessen's wholly original take on Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur... "...It is testament to Frances Loy's direction and the skills of the impressive acting cast that a certain energy that other productions can only dream about is grabbed by the throat from the opening scene and only ratcheted up to almost unbearable levels as the performance progresses. Whilst none of the acting itself can be particularly faulted, Ben Wigzell's outstanding turn as the psychotically charismatic Spinx has to be noted for its undiluted power and absolute domination of the stage at all times. A seemingly rough but ready approach to the lighting and set design serves to effortlessly draw the audience into the skewed, turbulently young and incandescent world of the play through the space."

Mercury Fur – Only 2 weeks leftMarch 2nd, 2010 by admin | Share |
There are now only 2 weeks / 10 performances left of theatredelicatessen's production of Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur. Audience and Critical responses have been phenominal. BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment.
Critical Response
"Almost unbearable to watch yet so compelling you can't stop watching...There are some standout performances from the young cast, and the play is perfectly matched to this here-today-gone-tomorrow pop-up venue"
-- FOUR STARS, Lyn Gardner, THE GUARDIAN
"It's evidence that the controversy that greeted its premiere was not all Mercury Fur had to offer; even with its shocks somewhat blunted by foreknowledge, it just takes the right company in the right space to reveal the heart behind the horrors."
-- Matt Boothman, BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
Audience Feedback
"Theatre Delicatessen's Mercury Fur - the best piece of theatre i have ever seen, fact. "
-- NichFleming, Twitter
"Can't recomend strongly enough. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing like this on the london stage at the moment. The acting is incredible from such a young cast. And the space fits the play perfectly. This is theatre that stays with you long after you leave."
-- Mike, WhatsOnStage Comment
