Mercury Fur
Immerse yourself in artist Philip Ridley's vision of a not-too-distant dystopian future, performed by St Andrews' RIOT Productions and brought to Edinburgh by Black Dingo Productions.
In Ridley's powerful, dark drama, a post-apocalyptic version of London's East End is ruled by gangs, terror and violence. Looted artefacts from the nation's museums are traded by addicts for drugs in the form of butterflies. And the wealthy are entertained at parties where their wildest fantasies are played out for real.
Mercury Fur has attracted much controversy, with Ridley's publisher of a decade, Faber & Faber, refusing to publish the text. It has gained something of a cult following in the years since its premier in 2005.
