New folk-rock musical ‘Mercury In Retrograde’ is debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer. The story follows the Fool, who’s deep in an existential crisis. As a result, he reaches out to his former lover, Luck, certain that her love will restore order to his life. He embarks on a cosmic journey to win her back, traveling across the stars and through a black hole. But with Mercury in Retrograde, is everything as it seems?
For the uninitiated, “Mercury in Retrograde” might sound like a cryptic astrological phrase, but trust us, it’s about to become your new favorite musical. In astrology, Mercury in Retrograde refers to the optical illusion that occurs when the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky. This phenomenon is believed to have a profound impact on our daily lives, causing communication breakdowns, technological mishaps, and general chaos. It’s a time when the universe seems to be playing a trick on us, and our best-laid plans go awry. But in the hands of the creative genius behind this Edinburgh Fringe musical, Mercury in Retrograde becomes a clever metaphor for the absurdities of modern life, this show is about to take the Fringe by storm, and you won’t want to miss it.
Here is an a sneak preview from the show:
