  • Mercury is hilarious, theatrical and twisty. One of the pleasant discoveries when we produced it is that it turned out to be a very unifying play -- it resonated equally with audiences from every possible background and experience. It's a thrill ride, and it has a reeeeeaaaallllly satisfying ending.

    Actor's Express presented the World Premiere of this play in 2021. Our audiences loved its trenchant and atmospheric storytelling rooted in Southern Gothicism. It is a special play with beautifully complex characters. The play drips with imagery and metaphor in the best possible way. If you enjoy stories about long-buried secrets bubbling to the surface, you really can't do much better than Hometown Boy. I love, love, love this play. -- Freddie Ashley, Artistic Director, Actor's Express
