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.

Really enjoyed this short listen - felt like going to see a play. Loved the writing - it was very witty and have to admit although it was quite dark it made me laugh out loud a few times.

Really engaging, like a play
