The quality of mercy shows in new play

The "plant" is one of the characters in the forthcoming production of the New York-set musical Little Shop of Horrors.

While students have recently been enjoying holidays, the cast have been rehearsing and creating elaborate sets.

Mercy College head of arts Katherine Gauci said the musical was a perfect mix of drama and comedy.

Little Shop of Horrors runs Thursday and Friday, May 7 and 8. For tickets, call 9247 9247.
