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, Mongrel Island is a bittersweet,
touching and darkly humourous play.
