About Piers MacKenzie
Courier is a gripping dark comedy written and performed by Piers MacKenzie and originally directed by Rachel McMurray. Based on Piers' time as a Deliveroo cyclist, this solo show dives into a fractured mind where isolation, identity and obsession collide as the brakes come off. One courier, one impossible delivery — how far will he go to complete his order? The show is full of sharp twists, sudden turns and plenty of bumps along the way. Running 50 minutes at Playground 1, it is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A solo show that uses the gig economy as a lens for something much darker and more personal. MacKenzie's performance takes the mundane reality of delivery cycling into genuinely unsettling psychological territory.
