The Mercy Seat - A Play

Neil Labute Price: $16.95

Set on September 12, 2001, The Mercy Seat continues Neil LaBute's unflinching fascination with the often-brutal realities of the war between the sexes

In a time of national tragedy, the world changes overnight. A man and a woman explore the choices now available to them in an existence different from the one they had lived just the day before

Can one be opportunistic in a time of universal selflessness?

"There is no playwright on the planet these days who is writing better than Neil LaBute . . . The Mercy Seat is . . . the work of a master" ~ The New Yorker

"A nihilistic yet brutally honest work . . . As complex and unfathomable as human motivations . . . The Mercy Seat is haunting" ~ Backstage

"LaBute . . . is holding up a pitiless mirror to ourselves. We may not like what we see, but we can't deny that - if only in some dark corner of our soul - it is there" ~ The Journal News
