Marie is losing herself in her grey office existence, trapped by endless piles of paperwork and the same people saying the same things every single day.
But as she is forced to work later and later into the night, she discovers a deeply strange twilight world where a new possibility for rescuing her sanity is illuminated by the fluorescent office lights.
Commissioned by Soho Theatre, Mongrel Island is a new, dazzlingly powerful and dreamlike comic play from up and coming young playwrite Ed Harris.
‘The skill of the writing lies in the way it wraps past and present, conveying the episodic, disjointed, random nature of memory… done with great care and compassion from start to finish,’
Sunday Times on The Moment You Feel It
‘It’s like Terry Gilliam’s Brazil meets The IT Crowd.’
