Actress and writer Yolanda Mercy scored a range of five star reviews with her show Quarter Life Crisis at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer, and is set to do just as well when the show hits London with a performance at the Soho Theatre on October 31.

Quarter Life Crisis, a one woman show that Mercy wrote and performs, follows her experiences in London as a twenty-something and her struggles with finding her own dream path while pleasing her first-generation Nigerian parents at the same time. Mercy, who trained at The Brit School and The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, is also an associate artist at the Ovalhouse theatre and part of the BBC London Voices writers' program.
