←Recommendations of Mercury

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.

Absolutely hilarious - so evil in ways you wouldn't expect. Everyone is cruel and creepy!! I would give anything to see this come to life (or death) on a stage!

Fantastically bizarre, creepy, and delightful! Steve Yockey has an incredible knack for developing off-kilter and compelling theatrical worlds that use elements of horror, fantasy, and magical realism to shine a light on contemporary relationships. I'd love to see this supremely theatrical piece staged!

BRILLIANT! The fabulous intensity of the characters' desires struck me from the start and gripped me beginning to end top to tail, back to front. A marvel of an oddity of a theatrical event that strikes honest emotional chords even as it thrills!

Yet another beautiful and fantastical play. Steve has incredible skill to take imaginations to far away places while making the reality of the situations hit you right in the heart. This play reminds me of the power of the theatre and how magical this work really is. This play is gripping and honors pure theatricality.

steve has long been an audience favorite at stray cat theatre - but MERCURY seems to have landed in many patrons' minds as their all-time favorite. wild, twisted, wickedly funny, full of one genuine "gasp-out-loud" surprise after another - hearing the series of escalating reactions from our audiences night after night was exhilarating. blood, bears...and a total blast.

MERCURY was a grand slam for Salt Lake Acting Company in every way. It stretched us artistically and was a huge hit with our audiences. It was a joy to work on as director, and Steve is the ultimate collaborator. This play generated some of the best audience feedback we've ever received; they were thrilled and delighted and horrified in all the best ways. MERCURY is a bloody treat!

This play is a blast -- it had me hooked from the very beginning and kept me guessing all the way to the end. Incredibly imaginative, laugh-out-loud funny, and truly scary. As a lover of horror in all forms, this play was like a gift-wrapped present with my name on it. Please someone produce this within driving distance of my house.

Hilarious and scary as hell. Yockey has you rooting for very strange and disturbing things to happen. There's one very special entrance that got hoots and hollers at the production I saw. I love this play and can't wait to watch it again.

Very funny, tense, and free spirited. I truely enjoyed the read, and imagine it would make a hilarious show
