Show Synopsis
The newest play from the writer of OCTOPUS, WOLVES, and PLUTO.
Stray Cat is thrilled to bring you the premiere of our 4th Steve Yockey production. Our anti-holiday holiday show will premiere the full staging of Steve Yockey’s latest pitch black comedy which enjoyed a popular staged reading with Stray Cat a few years back. MERCURY has it all - an illicit affair, a couple hanging on by a thread, bears at the window, and an adorable missing dog named Mr. Bundles. No one's happy, people stop being nice, and blood spills in a story that mashes up violent myth and ideas about "good neighbors" to explore what happens when the mercury rises.
Character Breakdown
The roles of NICK and ALICIA and SAM have already been cast.
Available roles: 3 F 1 M
HEATHER … 20s-40s – a married woman, charismatic and poised, used to relying on a friendly smile to smooth things over.
PAMELA … 20s-40s – a married woman, definitely type A, used to getting her way in most things, and probably pretty lonely.
OLIVE … 30s-50s – a woman, a downstairs neighbor, someone who thinks of herself as good and correct, myopic, also a busybody.
BRIAN … 20s – a man, handsome and flippant, definitely an urbanite, still learning how to really commit during hard times.
