Challenging new play by the enfant terrible of dark; disturbing dramaElliot is panicking. The party that he and his brother Darren have been planning has been brought forward - to tonight.In a lawless; ravaged city; where memories of the past have been brutally erased; the boys and their team survive by realising their clients darkest fantasies. But just how far are they prepared to go in trading humanity for information? As the light fades and events spiral out of control it becomes clear that on the success of the evening hangs not just their security; but their existence. The world is at its worst...let the party begin. Mercury Fur is a challenging new work containing some explicit scenes that may cause offence.Published to tie-in with the plays premier at the Drum Theatre; Plymouth and The Chololate Factory; London in February 2005; produced by Paines Plough."Philip Ridley is a singular writer; a prolific polymath; probably a genius; and the creator of some of the most peculiar; grotesque and compelling British plays (and films) of the last several years" Time Out

After you read the book; watch the documentary "Versailles 73" - that is; if youre a true lover of fashion history. Ms. Givhan has a flowing writing style and manages to share the full story without unnecessary or wasteful pages.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Battle of Versailles is an excellent social historyBy R. LysingerThe Battle of Versailles is an excellent social history. Yes; it is all about a great fashion event. More importantly it is a record of us as a country at the time. Because of the surrounding social and political events you get a well rounded account of why the fashion show at Versailles had such impact.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
