“People are entitled to their sexual proclivities, I mean, let there be a thousand blossoms bloom as far as I’m concerned. But I ain’t spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland.” ― Bob Katter (Australian MP)
Cocaine, crocodiles and Australian soap operas: Welcome to the world’s strangest one night stand.
MERCURIAL is a darkly comic, enthralling two-hander exploring why we want relationships and how far we go to keep their spark alive.
Clashing personalities, Mona and Peter bungle through the aftermath of an uninspiring first date only to find grief as their only thing in common.
Through its unflinching and provocative storytelling, MERCURIAL invites audiences to reflect on the complex interplay of love, power, and the role of humour in coping with life's tragedies.
