American writer and director Neil Labute examines the effect of nation tragedy in his critically acclaimed play The Mercy Seat, set on September 12, 2001.

Written with a brutal honesty and a biting wit that borders on cruel, The Mercy Seat questions its audience to think about how tragedy touches those who aren’t personally affected. Produced by the newly formed Gentle Banana People with support from Pantsguys, this production features Pantsguys co-founder Rebecca Martin and Sydney actor and comedian Patrick Magee.

The Mercy Seat will play a two-week season at the Old Fitzroy Theatre from Thursday June 24 to Saturday July 5. For bookings call1300 307 264 or jump online.
