Synopsis
Mongrel Island
$15.99
Published by Methuen
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 and written by up and coming writer Ed Harris, Mongrel Island explores the mind and memory, offering a perspective of how the workplace can strip away our humanity
Combining madcap, surreal humour with an indictment of the corporate world's subjugation of individualism, this is a bittersweet, touching and darkly humourous play
