About this listen

Care comes at a cost.

On her final shift before forced retirement, nurse Allison is ready to tell her story. But this is no ordinary farewell. As the hospital clock ticks towards midnight, she unravels a web of compassion, calculation, and cold-blooded justice that will make you question everything you know about care, mercy, and survival.

Performed by BAFTA Award winner Joanna Scanlan and written by acclaimed film critic Peter Bradshaw, MERCY is a darkly comic thriller with a twist that gently questions the boundary between care and something else entirely.

Also featuring Dempsey Bovell, Jason Forbes, Lesley Hart, David Holt, Finbar Lynch and Carl Prekopp.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Never thought I'd rate a critic's audio play, but PeterBradshaw's Mercy? Dark comic fun via British-accented storytelling. Agreed, missed a few lines chasing the accent—but damn, it slays. Sharp as his film takedowns. 🎧 **** stars 😉
