New Writing, Dark Comedy

MERCURIAL

By Rosaleen Cox

Directed by Oisín Kearney, Presented by Serpentine Productions & 19th Street Productions

Sunday 16 & Monday 17 August: 1.00pm

Cocaine. Crocodiles. Colin Farrell. Welcome to a one night stand gone full on rogue. MERCURIAL is a twisted dark comedy that pays homage to our most memorable worst dates. It asks the question: How far will we go for love?

Winner of ‘Best Show’ at Riverside Studios’ Bitesize Festival and programmed as a Shed Original reading in 2025, MERCURIAL returns to the shed as a pressure cooker dialled up to 11.

This will be a special stripped-back version of the show, reimagined for Shedinburgh.
