MERCURY- An absurdist play about three female archetypes—a prostitute, a career woman, and a detective— the trio of women play a game of whodunit – each a key figure in a murder that has happened, or will happen, or is happening right now. It’s a tragedy that, through the telling of it, slowly transforms itself from an event into an urban legend. The narrative is non-linear and each actor plays a variation of each archetype, illustrating the mutability of fact and giving the story an increasingly familiar but unknowable feeling, like a recurring dream.
*The theatre is located on the 3rd floor of a walk up building, there is no elevator.
