Mercy Fine is a gripping and intensely moving drama about the effects of a single, life-changing, moment of crisis. Mercy is in her prison bed at midnight. In just over twenty-four hours she'll be going back home - but home was where her life went so badly wrong. As Mercy's future looms, her past comes back to haunt her....

Written by Shelley Silas, Mercy Fine was the prestigious 2005 new writing commission from Clean Break, the theatre, education and new writing company. Clean Break uses theatre for personal and political change, working with women whose lives have been affected by the criminal justice system.
