The New Group will present the Off-Broadway premiere of Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur, directed by Scott Elliott. Previews begin August 5 in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre (480 West 42nd Street). Official Opening Night: Wednesday, August 19.
In a society ravaged by warring gangs and a hallucinogenic-drug epidemic, Elliot and Darren, under the sway of the ruthless Spinx, throw parties for rich clients in abandoned apartment buildings, parties that help guests act out their darkest, most sinister fantasies. As the teenage brothers prepare for the latest festivities, some unexpected guests threaten the balance of the world they have created in the midst of this dystopian nightmare.
The New Group opens its 2015-2016 season with
Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur, a terrifying yet tender look at just how far people will go to protect those they love the most.
Mercury Fur features Jack DiFalco,
Bradley Fong,
Paul Iacono,
Peter Mark Kendall,
Emily Cass McDonnell, Sea McHale, Zane Pais and Tony Revolori.
