'Literally heart-felt piece of gentle physical theatre.' - Donal Hutera

 

Set against a backdrop of gauze, pills and antiseptics, Throb is a fantasy

about illness.  A cardiovascular romance inspired by a very personal story,

this bittersweet duet is a tribute to anyone who has had to care for someone

they love. 

 

Funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

 

Premiered at The Place, January 2013.

'Inspired by events in Mercier’s family, the piece charts the rituals occurring

between a terminally ill man (Tim CJ Chew) and his carer (Mercier). The action

takes place in a curtained off hospital space, and is set to fragmentary snatches of dialogue and TV commentary.'  - Luke Jennings, the Observer
