Mongrel Island is a dazzlingly powerful and dreamlike comic play.
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.
