British actor and writer Yolanda Mercy is presenting her new solo show Failure Project at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. She talks with Jo Tomalin about why she writes and performs and the mental health and other struggles writers experience.
“A comedy drama… or “dramedy” about Ade, a successful writer, or so it seems. She has everything she has ever wanted; her career is flying, she’s (kinda) moved out of her mum’s house, her situationship isn’t as complicated as she expected. Life is perfect?! But things don’t always go how you plan, and Ade is about to find that out. Failure Project explores what it means to “fail” and if it is possible to recover?”
