In Merrily Merrily Merrily, three friends gather for a boozy night of laughter and existential debates, unraveling the mysteries of love, the universe, God, and the proper way to eat a chocolate soufflé. But beneath the drunken chaos, one of them harbours a sinister agenda. As the night spirals into absurdity and revelation, the boundaries between humour and horror blur, exposing the fragile beliefs that keep us tethered to hope. Darkly funny and unnervingly sharp, this play is a wicked exploration of love, faith, and the hope we cling to when the soufflé collapses.

Three friends, a soufflé, and a sinister agenda — a dark comedy that earns its title by letting the fun unravel slowly into something sharper. The writing promises real teeth beneath the absurdism, and 50 minutes is exactly the right length.
