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."
