Failure Project

'Failure Project is a raw, funny, and heartfelt exploration of what it truly means to "fail".'

This new play sounds really interesting and I am looking forward to seeing it at the Traverse Theatre. We can meet at 7.30pm in the Traverse bar before the show starts at 8pm and will lasts around an hour. After the show there is optional chat/food/drinks at a local venue. Life is to enjoy so lets do that.

All warmly welcomed. Please bring your £1 towards site fees. Tickets are £5-15 and you can get yours here:

A wee bit about the play:

Following her critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival, BAFTA nominee Yolanda Mercy returns with her bold new show, Failure Project.

Meet Ade - a writer who seems to have it all. Her career is taking off, she's finally out of her mum's house, and even her situationship is (mostly) under control. But just when life seems perfect, things start to unravel.

Failure Project is a raw, funny, and heartfelt exploration of what it truly means to "fail" - and how we rebuild from it. Ade’s journey is filled with humour, vulnerability, and unexpected twists that will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever hit a setback and found their way through.
Don’t miss this relatable and inspiring new work that will leave you laughing, reflecting, and rooting for Ade every step of the way!

Written and performed by Yolanda Mercy, it premiered at Summerhall as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, co-directed with Joseph Barnes-Phillips. It won the Solo Award at the Besties awarded by The Skinny and Fest magazine.
