The Mercury Young Company present Buckets.

Across 33 interconnected scenes Buckets tells stories of time and how a lack of it affects our emotions and relationships. We follow young people who are all desperately trying to find ways to cope with the fact that time always runs out. This young cast guides you through a kaleidoscopic world of happiness and sadness, kissing and crying, singing and dying.

Laugh, cry, and love with your whole heart!

Directed by Mercury Director Matthew Jewson and Macey Rhianne.

Buckets is written by Adam Barnard by arrangement with Nick Hern Books and is an amateur production by the Mercury Young Company.

Please note

After the performances on Thursday 15 August and Friday 16 August (matinee), there will be a free Mercury Young Company Summer Takeover in the café bar.
