BOOK NOW for a Q&A with Writer Philip Ridley, Director Frances Loy and the cast of Mercury Fur. Thursday 11th March 2010

"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"

"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."

"there is a heady, at times almost romantic quality to the crumbling world Mercury Fur evokes...the torture sequence itself remains ferocious."

"Frances Loy's production is not wanting for atmosphere...There are several stand-out performances...there's no shortage of black humour to grease the wheels, and much promise in this young company."

"There are some compelling performances in this production and Loy's confident direction has employed full use of the space to encourage the audience to feel they are in the moment with the characters."

"blazingly good...With its bleak humour, and powerful sense of foreboding, this is a dangerous, intense and occasionally excruciating piece of experiential theatre."

"Performed by a universally impressive cast, this is a pungent and disturbing event from a promising theatre company."

"The actors ­ a fine ensemble - are exceptionally good"
