It’s 10 years ago, on the morning of September  11, 2001 and Ben Harcourt is in the downtown New York apartment of his lover, Abby Prescott (who also happens to be his boss) instead of being at work. Twenty hours later, his constantly ringing mobile phone haunts their conversation as Ben and Abby explore their choices in a world totally different from the one they knew just the day before. Will Ben let his family know he’s alive, or will he and Abby take this chance to create a new life for themselves? Presented by DoLittle Productions (www.dolittleproductions.com), The Mercy Seat is directed by Andrew Doyle (The Little Dog Laughed, Harp on the Willow), stars Jo Little (Blackbird) and Chris Rodgers.
