since it first premiered in England in 2005, MERCURY FUR has been called a masterpiece by some and an abomination by others... London's Daily Telegraph even called it a "poisonous piece" that "degraded" everyone connected with it!

​

BE ADVISED: MERCURY FUR INVOLVES STAGE VIOLENCE AND UNFILTERED DIALOGUE REGARDING BRUTAL ACTS, THIS PLAY IS RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

​

set in a post-apocalyptic London, MERCURY FUR offers a mind-bendingly cryptic glimpse of just how far desperate people will go to satisfy the grotesque fantasies of their rich benefactors.  with a cast of young characters only half as depraved as the world around them, this irresistably primal tale falls somewhere in between A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and LORD OF THE FLIES asking devastating questions about how much humanity lives on in humans when the walls of society come crashing down

​

director Michael Doben* has reassembled much of his creative team that brought to life our artie award-nominated rendition of FAHRENHEIT 451 last year to craft this newest addition to subversive theatre's dystopian series.  the cast features Zach Bellus and Justyne Harris opposite Matthew B. Cullen, Zach Thomas, Lucas Colon, Helen Wilkie, Jeremy Catania, and Vinnie DeStafano
