I would like to commend Impact Theatre on an excellent performance of The Mercy Seat (Friday performance). I'm a fan of Neil LaBute's film work so I was curious about how he'd tackle a play involving only 2 characters. As it happened, the play is well-written, engaging, humorous and thought-provoking. Fortunately, the actors' performances were brilliant and they managed to bring these two people to life and to keep the audience's minds on the play and the issues it raised. Well done
