Review: SLAC’s ‘Mercury’ combines Halloween humor with insights about human behavior

Pamela is angry and upset when her neighbor, Heather, breaks off their clandestine affair. “Sometimes when someone hurts you, you have to put that hurt somewhere else,” she tells Heather to explain why she’s done a terrible thing in retaliation.

Olive is mad at the neighbor in her duplex for hogging both parking spaces. When the neighbor’s son, Nick, and his lover, Brian, move in, she doesn’t approve of Brian’s behavior. “When I see a problem, I make it right,” she announces self-righteously. “I know the difference between right and wrong.”

Heather and Olive know just where to go to resolve their situations.
