Pochsy IV: Unplugged

By Karen Hines

Mercury-addled and fabulously flighty, Pochsy is back with a new monologue

Sweet, vapid, and venomour, Pochsy is an endearingly charming embodiment of all that's gone bats in the world. She used to work at Mercury Packers. Where she packed mercury. Now her employer has moved offshore and Pochsy must grapple with God's broken promise of a five-star future. This is a night sea journey on an unnaturally sparkling river. Harrowing and high speed, Pochsy IV unboxes precarity, consumer obsessions, the future of humankind ... and whatever else might keep you up at night.

Combining magical realism, satire, and horror, this monologue follows the acclaimed trilogy The Pochsy Plays, which have travelled internationally and been a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award, among other citations. Pochsy IV: because what the world needs right now is a little more Pochsy.
